In my humble opinion the problem was that the motor car wasn't a Vauxhall Astra with a different badge. There was nothing much wrong with Vauxhall and Opel engineering, the issue was that Saab felt a need to change so much (and all for the worse). Saab just wasn't a big enough company to solve engineering problems itself, but was too stubborn to accept perfectly good designs from GM.

We all know how it ended up... :-(
