Whatever it is, they need to export that expertise! Go on a road show tour. Maybe they can send an envoy over to SAAB USA to help with brand building here. I wonder if all SAAB USA employees are urged to read that "Spirit of SAAB" book. If I worked for SAAB I would definitely make it a priority to read that book and that Taschen book <i><a href="http://www.taschen.com/pages/en/catalogue/design/all/02917/facts.htm?flash=TRUE" rel="nofollow">Scandinavian Design</a></i>.

Vauxhall Hmm, still over 11% of all cars sold in the UK last year was a Vauxhall. "Likely to be owned" says little about what people actually buy - which is all that counts in the end. :) # 32.

And yes, Audis are almost as common as BMWs over here. The Mondeo is a rare beast in comparison!

# 5. Saab

Precisely why GM needs to ensure that there are clear differentiators between Saab and it’s fleet car specials!

And yes, Audis are almost as common as BMWs over here. The Mondeo is a rare beast in comparison!

The Brits are crazy about Audis - A2 through R8- these days; so much so that the UK ranks amongst Audi's top markets. There are more Audi sales per capita than in America.

Why the scorn? Theyre not that far removed from #5 are they? Kinda strange that Saab doesnt rate a mention as a cinderella in those “vulgar” garages…and Vauxhall?? Why the scorn?
