It would be a pity to see SAAB disappear but if GM don't allow the introduction of new models soon, sales will surely drop to such low levels that the demise will become inevitable.
I cannot help thinking that manufacturers have just been producing too many cars for too many years; nice though it may be to have such a plethora of shiny new models arriving in our nearest showrooms almost every month, is it really necessay ? And why built cars that have not actually been ordered by a customer ? We've all seen pictures of fields full of unsold cars, this cannot make good sense.
I am not saying that we should stop any new innovations coming to market (after all, I've been driving a Prius for the last four years), but I do think we need to radically re-think how the car market works in general. It will be particularly interesting to see how Gordon Murray's new ideas pan out, the industry surely needs more radical thinking like his, good luck to him.
the biggest con yet - global warming and climate change.
