This shot is a proverbial 'up yours' to GM.
Hey GM, DRA ÅT HELVETE!!!!!!!
Is this what Saab calls a 'crush' test? By the look of that second picture I'd say that appear to have 'ironed out' the problem.
*Sorry I couldnt resist*
You have to read this in context, though: the BLS is a symbol of GM's mismanagement of Saab, pouring money into reskinning a 9-3 as a Euro-Caddy instead of investing in Saab itself.
Nobody in Europe wants a Caddy and GM already had a premium brand in Europe. This picture illustrates the complete failure of the BLS and GM product planning. Cadillac is as much a victim of this as it blows any chance of them establishing a good brand in Europe in the foreseeable future.
Stop crushing the only wellbuilt car built in Trollhättan.
.
the insular culture of GM keeps them thinking Cadillac is the ultimate American status car, which really DID damage Saab by forcing it into 'premium Euro car'. Just like the Chevrolet worshippers sabotaged Saturn.
