GM to kill off the Saab automobile brand

General Motors has already killed off two popular brands - Pontiac and Saturn.

Now the troubled automaker is killing off another brand - Saab.

GM made the decision after talks with a Dutch would-be buyer collapsed.

GM, Dutch automaker Spyker Cars and the government of Sweden, where Saabs are made, could not reach an agreement.

We wonder how many people will sob for the Saab - described as “a quirky line of cars known for angular roof lines and ignition keyholes between the front seats.”
