>no matter who owned them, they refused to cheap out
so why did they sell themselves out like the 2-dollar whore they were sperging so hard trying not to be? i'm pretty sure they were allowed to say "no" to anyone who tried to buy them and just continue their ways until their eventual fold.
>Platform's not up to their safety standards? Just re-engineer then whole damn thing and build the best car you can on there.
It sounds like the company should've just been liquidated so the engineers could be freed up to work for Volvo or something and make those more safe or tailored to what they thought a car should be rather than staying on a sinking ship and having this passion of their's choked out. some manufacturers just flat-out set records when their passion was allowed to run wild.
GM couldn't bring themselves to sell cars that aren't shit
Sadly their perfectionism didn't lead to big profits, so they needed bigger companies to support them. And some of the engineers behind their torque monster turbo 4s did join the team that developed GM's Ecotec family, which is a damn good engine family.
not even close
also Saab didn't offer anything worth mentioning, had outdated styling and wasn't a good alternative to any other car
Saab could never do this.
its not a rebadged opel at all. saab were meant to use the same platforms but kept doing there own thing to great cost due to the utter shite opel and vauxhall bases (vectra, insignia) that GM wanted saab to use. GM didnt like it and threw them to the wolves. evwn though they cease to exist im glad saab stuck to their principles and remained a cut above, rather than sell out and just be rebadged shite.
Build a really slow car that costs a shit ton of money? They probably could have if they wanted to.
Build a really luxurious, stunningly elegant car that they could legitimately charge over $100k for and still have peole buy it.
Then don't bring it to "some body shop" dumb poorfag.
you're trying too hard lad.
You're not trying hard enough.
Just like Saab.
