Last of the Saabs

Saab, the Swedish automaker taken over by General Motors, valiantly tried to hold on before going bankrupt. In 2012, it was announced that a newly formed company, National Electric Vehicle Sweden (NEVS) had bought Saab Automobile. By then Saab was gone in the U.S.

 

This late-model 9-5 sedan was one of the last Saabs to be sold in the U.S. In North America, the engine choices were either a turbocharged 2.8-liter V-6 or an Ecotec inline four. Any resemblance to the Chevrolet Malibu is, well, regrettable.

 

As the saying goes, Saab was born from jets and killed by jerks.
