Who wants a Mexican built Saab?

Saab is one brand whose roots are strongly fixed in its country of origin, Sweden, but, as the effects of globalization take hold, product planners will soon have us driving Saabs born from Mexico. The upcoming 9-4X crossover will manufactured at GM’s assembly plant in Ramos, Mexico, alongside a similar model planned for Cadillac dubbed the BRX.

I like Saab because of their extremely comfy seats. I do not like the fact that Saabs are turbocharged as I do not trust turbos.

Umh, does it matter that much. I much rather have a good car made in a country with dirt roads then a crappy one made in a country with no limit highways.

Then again I agree with Wi11, who wants a Saab in reality.

Also maybe completely redesigning a car in less than a millenium may help.

It all depends on the factory and saab isnt going to cut specifications of vehicles or factories seeing as most of the vehicles are made on the line with machines, and its a semi reputable company, The cost of running things is much cheaper in a country like mexico so costs are down and profit goes up.
Kart 1, cars tested on dirt roads and paved autobahns would be much different.
As seen as to why mexico doesnt have any imported or exported vehicles, and most of the cars built their by other companies certainly do not test on dirt roads.

"As seen as to why mexico doesnt have any imported or exported vehicles" Huh? Last time I was in Mexico City I saw plenty of smooth autobahn-like toll roads and a huge variety of cars. It was weird seeing strange VWs, Merc A-Classes, Peugeots, and SEATs parked next to Cadillac Escalades and Toyota Camrys
