very old news.
When even one American - who has done nothing wrong --
is forced by fear to shut his mind and close his mouth,
then all of Americans are in peril.

saab basically stands for swedish automobile and aircraft builders and is owned by the swedish government. Scania trucks and buses is also part of the same group.

This is one of the reasons why saab cars were very innovative. For instance they were the first company to produce turbo charged mass produced cars and also there were a lot of aircraft design features incorporated into their car designs ( if you look at a 900 classic, all controls fall easily to hand and the clocks are viewable through the steering wheel) commonplace now i know but at the time unknown. It is a shame the car producing part of the firm was sold off to GM.
