Mitsubishi, weirdly enough, where I’m from (Philippines), they are doing just fine, but they are struggling everywhere else. Mitsubishi have a special place in our hearts, we love our box-type Lancers, Galants, and especially Pajeros. Today though Evos are gone, the Eclipse is an SUV, I really loved the new Mirage but they never thought of making a hot hatch, which would have been perfect!
My dad was a huge Saab guy. Over the years he had a Saab 99, Saab 900, Saab 9000, and two 9-5s. The first 9-5 was totaled in a huge winter highway accident, the occupants of the other cars all had various injuries, some very serious, but my dad walked away without a scratch. After that experience he just immediately turned around, took his insurance payout and bought another 9-5. When Saab declared bankruptcy my parents both had 9-5s; one a sedan, one a wagon. That wagon looked legitimately good, better than the sedan IMO. And of course they were all very safe and very comfortable.
However, even a Saab fan like him would be hard pressed to revive the brand. He’s since switched allegiance to Volvo because, in his words, “Volvos aren’t totally boring anymore”, and Volvo also continued to innovate while GM slowly strangled Saab.
A resurrected Saab would be some kind of Chinese mockery rather than the real deal. Sometimes it’s best to let dead Vikings lie.
