Volkswagen unveiling two-door Elise fighter in LA, new sports car {Autoblog}
Jul 21st 2008 3:39PM This seems more of an MX-5-fighter than an Elise-fighter. Most Americans don't even know who Lotus is, much less the Elise. And this beauty is sure to be more in the Mazda's price range than that of a Lotus.
Spy Shots: Saab 9-3x in the works {Autoblog}
Jul 17th 2008 4:34PM I totally agree, and have been pissed about it for years. My family had a 900 sedan back in the 80s, and I briefly owned a 900 hatchback. Just because they keep the ignition switch between the front seats doesn't mean it's a true Saab.
GM went completely corporate with Saab. It reminds me of Harley-Davidson when it was owned by Brunswick. They were only able to revive the soul of H-D after the managers bought the company back and became an independent again.
Maybe Trollhattan will follow suit someday. Till then, Saab will sadly remain nothing more than an empty product in GM's portfolio.

May 29th 2008 3:40PM One of these days, the no-longer-quite-as-Big Three will wake up and realize they can't keep blaming their woes on union problems, or "legacy" costs, or mystical global economic unfairness.
I drive a Chevy. My wife drives a Chrysler. My first ride (which I still have) was a '72 IH Scout II. We've also owned two other Chevys and a Saturn, so I'm no domestic car-basher. Nor am I a blind patriot. I like GOOD cars, which Detroit seems not to know how to build.
The Asian invasion is over a generation old. Didn't these guys ever see "Gung Ho"? Hell, even Ron Howard saw the revolution coming! Seriously Detroit, build better cars that make sense, not clunky trucks and SUVs that suck gas like it's going out of style, and maybe - just maybe - you'll keep the American auto industry off life support.
