HISTORIC Car Companies That NO Longer Exist
Luxury cars have always been a status symbol for wealthy individuals who wanted only the best. Today these cars come in the form of a Rolls Royce, or Maybach, but back in the day there were far more luxury car manufacturers than you know. Most of them died out for one reason or another, and we are left with relics of past times that serve as a reminder of just how great the automotive industry was at one point. Today we will tell you about car companies that no longer exist.

    I worked as a mechanic at a dealer from 89 to 91. They sold 3 cars a month, yet worked on 10 a day! Once Lexus and Infinity were in show rooms, Saab was done. Crazy stuff like maintenance flooded batteries, water pump leaks, bent rims, bent front trans pans, tail light assemblies, etc...I once had to fix a 9000 that the customer was involved with Saab corporate and after several others it came to me. For a company that made only 2 vehicles, I saw several recalls (including one that burned a person's house down), and stupid stuff like welds that were not finished, wires that were mis-matched on connectors, etc. The manager would comment how chevy had many more vehices towed in. One february their was a cold snap and my cavalier was one of the few that made it in to the dealer. The older 8 valves with mechanical fuel injection started, but not the new 16 valves..It's not like Sweden is a Caribbean country that has never experienced low temperatures. GM wasn't the downfall, it kept them afloat after scania separated and the cost of developing the new jets. You can keep those crazy looking cars. I will stick to my Lexus.

    I loved all my Saabs! I have owned a new 99 in 1977..an EMS, a new 1986 SAAB 900, and a new 1992 9000. I have owned used 9000s and a used 900. The 99 was awesome, but my 1986 900 was going great at over 300000 miles of use. I loved the bumpers! So easy to parallel park and not worry about the front or rear bumpers being damaged by a bad driver. My 1992 9000 saved our lives in a bad rear end crash with my young children. The safety features of the accordion reaction of the SAAB when it was being hit from behind protected all 4 of us. Thank goodness SAAB insisted on safety first and not money. The body shop at the dealer did a great job fixing the car. It was very close to being totaled with only 4,000 miles on it. Linda Connecticut

    My father is a Saab enthusiast/collector, and my little brother, who still lives at home, has picked up the mantle. Together they have a shitload of them, including 96, 99, 900, 9000, 9-3 and 9-5. I would say they have at least 3 of each until 9000. Some automatics, some Griffins, some with 3 doors, some with 5 - there's variety (except that I think there's only one wagon, as my brother hates them). My brother just got his license, 1 year before the regular age because he's going to a school to become a logistics driver, so he fixed up a red 900 Turbo as his first car. I like that I can be around these classic models, as I don't like any new cars. I think that for years now most brands and models have started looking more and more like each other, either the same bloated, round look or the same "SUV" look - modern Saabs look like shit, too. Anyway, thanks for the video, now I understand why they so often ask each other about whether something is GM or not. I think this is why they emphasize some of their vehicles using the official Scania badges / stickers.

    I never know much about Saab until I was looking for a used car, I found one that i kinda like, when I dugged deeper into its history, I'm amazed at how the 9000 was design and built, I went for a test drive and I fell in love, still driving it. It is the best deal I can get for a used luxury sedan, it is cheap and its maintainance cost is lower than German coutnerparts.
