Sadly, GM was never very good at integrating acquired companies, and finding economies of scale between Saab, GM Europe, and GM North America was a bridge too far. Not only that-Sweden is an expensive place to build anything. Volvo has been making cars for years in places like Benelux, Nova Scotia and now South Carolina, whereas Saabs only came from Trollhattan and maybe Uusikaupunkki in Finland for 900/9-3 convertibles.
