SAAB and Volvo Struggle on... For Now

With Ford and General Motors looking to make savings wherever they can, the future of both Volvo and SAAB is appearing to be a little bleak.

SAAB find themselves in the worst position, having filed for reconstruction last month, the so called luxury car maker is battling for its survival. Not helped by the fact that the extremely small range are in effect rebadged Vauxhall / Opels. Not really the cars to tempt the general public away from the Audi's, BMW's and Mercedes of the world.

So far governments throughout the world have propped up ailing car manufacturers, however there will inevitably be some casualties and the chances are it may be one of the Swedish brands that falls first.
