Well - I'm not sure if they mean Saab & Volvo as a whole, or their car manufacturing. Yes Ford owns Volvo car division, but doesn't own the Volvo company. Same with GM. GM owns Saab car division, but Saab is an aerospace provider, which GM doesn't own.

We're talking about the car firms though. I also found an article that verifies its the car firms. "Volvo and Saab had been asking for Swedish state support because of the financial woes of their US owners." But yeah... Saab aerospace.... Do they even make money? Volvo Trucks probably is still profitable. --------------------  (\__/) (='.'=) This is bunny. Copy and paste bunny into your (")_(") signature to help him gain world domination. |
