2011年：薩博

????全球的汽車愛好者無不為薩博（Saab）的茍延殘喘扼腕嘆息。在全球各地的瑞典汽車中,，薩博占有一半的份額,，然而它還是在運營62年后終告破產(chǎn)。通用汽車于2000年完成了對它的收購,，但卻并沒有推出新款車型，并于2010年將其轉(zhuǎn)手賣給了精品汽車制造商世爵（Spyker Cars）,。世爵在資金緊張、部件缺乏的情況下難以制造汽車,，而薩博的銷量也跌至3.2萬輛,。牢固結(jié)實的9-3和9-5車型在2011年完全停產(chǎn)。通用汽車拒絕將薩博出售給一家中國公司,，薩博也進(jìn)入了破產(chǎn)狀態(tài),。2012年，一家瑞典電動汽車制造商收購了薩博的資產(chǎn),。

2011: Saab

????Enthusiasts everywhere mourned the protracted death throes of Saab, representing half of the world's Swedish car brands, which expired after a 62-year run. GM (GM, Fortune 500), which had completed its purchase of Saab in 2000, starved it of new models before selling it to boutique automaker Spyker Cars in 2010. Sales sank below 32,000 as Spyker, short of money, struggled to build cars due to parts shortages. Production of the stalwart 9-3 and 9-5 ceased entirely in 2011. When GM blocked a deal to sell the automaker to a Chinese company, Saab went into bankruptcy, and its assets were purchased by a Swedish electric car maker in 2012.
