That Saab in the pic was built in Finland. These days that plant produces some Mercedes shit

Swedens cars have always been behind German cars.

I don't know about cars but Sweden is the shittiest.

When it came to safety and durability. Volvo 740 is probably the best car ever made

My volvo has been more reliable and more comfy than my merc

Oh my god. They don't? Haha, AHAHAHAHA

I remember the good old times when every undertakers had the station wagon volvos. Now they all use mercedes

China bought Volvo.

wat happened to car manufacturing?
only good cars are boring grey cars not doing anything nice

>wat happened to car manufacturing?
-increasing wealth gap means less people to buy sports cars
-less younger people to buy cool cars
-older population that wants safe and comfortable cars aka cuckovers
-design rules that dictate the shape of the car

plus a "sporty" economy car today is as fast as a sports car from the 80s

I heard Porsche are shit. Or at least I heard its what rich people that doesn't understand cars buys

They're for fags

>I heard Porsche are shit
objectively wrong
porsche is the greatest car manufacturer of all time
the only people that buy porsches are dentists and people that take their car to the track every weekend

Porsches would be a PERFECT weekend car if it was mid-engined,
>inb4 muh heritage

>early wv transport
porsche made one of those called the b32 with a 911 boxer engine

i fucking wish i would get paid for shilling for porsche but i don't really like modern 911s as much as air cooled ones

yeah but they're SUVs so who gives a shit and yes sauber was the racing team that worked with bmw to develop the C7

Yessir

It was a disaster for Fiat. I liked the idea of 3 front seats but why that ugly design?

I'm actually pretty interested in this thing since the new US market Passat is such a piece of crap.

it looks so bad it almost looks good. gonna be considered a genius design in 50 years time.

For me? It's the Nissan Cube

Trabant was cute. it looks a bit sad but it's understandable considering its from ddr

I love Saabs so much for some reason. Want one so much but parts and servicing here will be too expensive ;_;

tfw we aren't making cars anymore

Looks comfy but kinda dangerous. Are those things actually road legal?

bodywork made of paper, still manages to get rust streaks - I love that time period (ironically)

Peugeot is fucking garbage kek

It's nice to be a driving a ´94 Saab 9000 Aero.
Very throttle happy car, 290 hp on the wheels after a few tunes.

Vovlo and SAAB weren't made to directly compete with BMW/Mercedes, they were always a step below when it comes to pricing. I think that you get a lot more bang for your buck when it comes to 80/90's Volvos and SAAB compared to the german premium segment however.

I think the new Volvos are great apart from the boring engine choices. The XC40 is without a doubt the best in its segment.

America ruined it, unironically

Oh jesus.. I owned a 07 PT Cruiser back in 2014. I was driving home from work and the engine literally blew up while driving 110km/h.
Rained metal parts all over the highway and then it caught fire. Half the car burned up before the fire department got there.

>merc
There is the fucking problem.
The only people here who drive those are minorities and slavs.
