Sales targets, anyone?
June 19, 2009 in Archive
The following table shows European market share data for 2009, up to the end of May. If you’re looking for Saab, the place to check is down near the bottom. Just above Lexus.
It’s nice to be able to say your beating out a marque like Lexus, but you’d want to be able to say you’re beating out other companies as well. Unfortunately, if there are any other companies below Lexus, they’re not named so we don’t know who they are (tho Cadillac must be one, right?)
We all know sales have been in the toilet due to a perfect storm involving the GFC and uncertainty about Saab’s future.
We also know that Saab needs new models, which are coming.
So the big question is, how high do you think Saab can be on this list in May 2010?
By then we’ll have the 9-3x in dealers yards, as well as the all-new 2010 Saab 9-5. The Saab 9-4x should be fairly close to release at this time, too, though probably not close enough.
Place your bets. I’m aiming for 1% share and a spot just above Alfa Romeo.

Thanks for the table, Roeland!
