General Motors took control of Saab in the 1990s, ultimately turning the Swedish automaker into a wholly-owned subsidiary in 2000. (Saab had previously merged with the commercial vehicle manufacturer Scania-Vabis, creating Saab-Scania.)
GM struggled to expand the brand's line-up while maintaining its unique "quirky" character, which included, most famously, ignition keyholes between the seats.
With luxury SUVs becoming a popular segment, GM released the Ohio-built 9-7X, a Saab version of the TrailBlazer SUV.
The competition was fierce in the race to be last. Surprise - the car at the bottom of the heap wasn't from Detroit.
