Saab about to go

Peelerfart

I personally will be sad if/when they go.

Having said that the loss of Rover,Wolseley,the real MG's and the true Citroensall saddened me.

Long live Triumph.

IMHO

I have no problem with hyundai or kia, they have made no outstanding cars but also no dogs either. Just stuff to get you to A-B on reliably and without fuss or cost. Very much like the japanese model.

The new Kia Optima is due later this year. Might raise a few eyebrows.

I am still hoping the hyundai I-flow becomes reality. I could handle a 200BHP hybrid saloon/coupe which did 80MPG.
But looks like it will be the i40 saloon, which is a bit turned down from the concept.

I bought my wife a new I-ron the other day - She wasn't to impressed with me

Wasn't it a sort of Rover/Pheonix deal so that GM could avoid the expense and bad publicity of closing them down?

Why spyker thought they could turn a profit after in not returning a profit in 10 years is beyond me.

Not sure TBH.

Interesting...

I looked at all sorts this time around... and went with a Skoda Superb Combi.

Its the same pretty much as a Passat, except it isnt, its bigger and far better equiped as standard and therefore cheaper or better value for money.

Its probably not as technologically advanced as an Audi or a VW but it certainly takes the best from the parts bins and uses tried and tested parts that dont fail... Solid cars.

Very happy and wouldnt change it for the world.

I considered SAAB, KIA, VW, BMW(briefly), MERCs, FORD, MAZDA, HYUNDAI, NISSAN and TOYOTA test drove a load...

I dont think anyone makes a BAD car now, but little things can make a big difference, like saving 8k... nice...

I will be the first to applaud the passing of SAAB, who have consistently made the ugliest cars in the world. Citreon will, I hope, rapidly follow. After that Volvo and Fiat will get the accolade for ugliest car. I have always viewed the Volvo as the reverse of a hedgehog. With the hedgehog, the pricks are on the outside.

I've never ever known anybody to buy one when they were in business.... so nothing will change for me if I continue to never know anybody who buys one.

They were ugly cars for boring old blokes.
