Tag: Financial instability

The Swedes were great at building cars
for years.
Designs were quirky, fun, and edgy. But
Then all our Swedish car love turned to tears
When SAAB’s finances got stabbed in the gut.

Where now are our 9-3’s, 9-5’s, and all
Those other wond’rous cars they have brought to us?
Where will we find such driving joy this fall,
When autumn leaves excuse our driving lust?

If winter’s snows blanket our roads in white,
And beg our hooning urge to dance and slide,
What Swedish carriage will reflect the light
That shines on snow thrown by throttle applied?

Into that long good night our SAAB must go.
And now the Swedes hang all hope on Volvo.
