The Life and Death of SAAB: RCR Car Stories

A look into the life of Saab Automobile, and the decisions that led to its death. What were the successes and innovations that shaped Saab, and what were the mistakes that caused its downfall? What made Saab so important to automotive history? And what lessons can we learn from its demise? It’s an all-new RCR Stories! And it’s even longer than AMC, so I hope you brought snacks!
