Is Saab Still Making Cars?


Many people still think Saab makes cars, even though the business was bought out by General Motors in 2000 and Saab Automobile went defunct back in 2011. But the Saab name is very much alive and well, as one of the world’s most innovative defense and security companies.

 

The end of an era: Saab cars go defunct in 2011

 

Unlike the defense and security business, which steadily developed into a global player, the Saab passenger car story was a more prosaic one. After the company’s 20-year merger with Scania-Vabis came to an end in 1989, American car giant General Motors took a 50 percent share of the new Saab Automobile business before making the company a wholly-owned subsidiary in 2000. Saab cars were no longer made by Saab.

Saab cars’ future was therefore wrapped up with that of General Motors, and when the American parent company’s own fortunes began to nosedive in 2008, so did its Swedish subsidiary. A change of ownership to include Dutch car maker Spyker could not halt the decline, and the Saab cars business was lost for good when Saab Automobile AB filed for bankruptcy in December 2011.
