Fortunately they never sold the model that represented the lowest point
of GM's ownership of SAAB in the UK. That was the Subaru Impreza with
the SAAB bonnet. A realistic attempt at making the ugliest car in the
world event worse.

The "Saabaru" 9-2x was bad, but the "Trollblazer" 9-7x was even worse - a
Chevrolet Trailblazer with a Saab badge.

I defer to sir's clearly superior knowledge of how low GM were willing
to take SAAB.

GM were merely building on a tradition Saab had already established on
their tod.

Even the 9000/164/Croma/Thema wasn't the first such crime. Saab 600. Yes,
Six hundred.
