Back in the country after a long, long trip. Great points Till (damn autocorrect), completely agree and will write a follow up shortly.

Let’s try to stay relevant and apolitical. We get it- you’re conservative, lol. A more apt analogy would be like Guy Lofalk traveling to Detroit and DC without any prearranged meetings scheduled.

Let’s dream for a moment and say Mahindra is the ultimate winner. At the moment, their primary focus area is SUVs. The segment of the car industry with the highest margins right now is SUVs, would you be opposed […]

Where’d you read that? I just read the opposite at Automotive News.

I’m glad to read the clarification that your frustration is for the families and workers of Trollhattan and not your own right as a former Saab customer to know what’s going on. Good lense which makes your […]

Bingo.

I love Tim, but this is one place where subjectivity is coming into place way more than fact. The segment is surely profitable, but the reason the prices are so much higher isn’t just a demand curve, it’s because […]

I’m as skeptical as you are until we actually see a working production unit on the assembly lines. They’re claiming 18 month availability for production, which as far as I can tell they seem pretty able to achieve […]

Battery breakthroughs are nearer than you think.

There’s no date set for a final announcement. There’s no coronation. We have no info about timetables. I think that’s been pretty clear. I’m sort of confused as to why some people here think it’s more important to […]

Some real world info for those of you interested on electric vs. gas, myth vs. reality.

Apparently no 9-4xs outside, and I’m going to go out on a limb and say none inside. The 9-4xs came in only one large shipment from Mexico, these appear to all be off the boat from Sweden. I’m pretty sure all the […]

To anyone thinking this process isn’t moving along fast enough, I have a solution. Take a few weeks off from reading SU. It’s amazing all the things in the world besides the sale of Saab right now.

No politics. Seriously. None please. I’m tempted to add it to the comments policy lol.

Comment of the week Mike. So true.

Let’s not forget that Saab leaked out their intention to build an EREV like the Volt either.

It’s all about economics pure and simple. GM flopped the Volt by not […]

They had to know this already. It might have been nice to have a little more transparency in the bidding process though that this was a concern for them and another motivation for acquiring Saab.

Don’t worry. That’s coming in a future post.

The reason a bookstore can sell an image they never created is that it’s over 50 years old and thus available for fair use. That we parodied it and made it our own makes it even less an issue Just enjoy.
