十大归于尘土的汽车品牌

2011年：萨博

    全球的汽车爱好者无不为萨博（Saab）的苟延残喘扼腕叹息。在全球各地的瑞典汽车中，萨博占有一半的份额，然而它还是在运营62年后终告破产。通用汽车于2000年完成了对它的收购，但却并没有推出新款车型，并于2010年将其转手卖给了精品汽车制造商世爵（Spyker Cars）。世爵在资金紧张、部件缺乏的情况下难以制造汽车，而萨博的销量也跌至3.2万辆。牢固结实的9-3和9-5车型在2011年完全停产。通用汽车拒绝将萨博出售给一家中国公司，萨博也进入了破产状态。2012年，一家瑞典电动汽车制造商收购了萨博的资产。

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.
