| A famous slogan of the Saab corporation “Born from jets” mirrors in a way the history of the creation of the first Saab automobile. It was manufactured by sixteen aeroplane design engineers and consequently was founded on the aircraft design. The significance of a slogan is that the high quality and safety of Saab cars may be compared to the quality and safety of airplanes. These days Saab vehicles manufacture is carried out by General Motors corporation, but Saab aeroplane division is still owned by the Swedish Saab company. So let's take a digression into the history of Saab company. The make Saab made its appearance in 1937 with the manufacture of aeroplanes for the Swedish Air Force. From this point on it has concentrated on building military aeroplanes, including fighter airplanes for NATO. Due to their high reliability Saab aircrafts were recognized world over. Since 1949 Saab specialists have been involved in the manufacture of well-engineered automobiles. The distinctive feature of Saab cars consists in the aerodynamic design that helps in fuel economy. This peculiarity is observed in every Saab model. Safety is one of major priorities of Saab cars. The specialists of this corporation use all the latest technological advances to make their automobiles reliable and contemporary. Among such innovations there are: self-repairing bumpers, self-cleaning headlights, turbo-charged engines, air filters and so on and so forth. In 1980s due to the growth of global economy and the spread of multinational corporations the Saab company faced difficulties in keeping its positions in the competition struggle. This led to the separation of the Saab car unit and its selling to a certain number of investors. The major investor has become General Motors (GM) that owns 50 per cents of the business. The range of Saab models has lately been supplemented with the first sport utility vehicle (SUV). All the models are regularly updated in correspondence with the market requirements. But nevertheless, there are arguments about growing impact of General Motors corporation (GM). Discussions are led on account of the ability of Saab to maintain its uniqueness and to compete with such celebrated European brands as Volvo, Mercedes and BMW. In spite of all these facts the amateurs of Saab vehicles do not lose hope that its aeroplane heritage will help them to create unique and reliable automobiles. |
