The latest marketing campaign from Saab cars traces the automaker’s origins back to the days to when the company was formed from a Swedish aircraft maker. One ad mentions that 16 aircraft engineers designed the first cars, which were based heavily on aerodynamic aircraft design. Apparently, the “born from jets” slogan is meant to convey to the public that the same quality that goes into building jets goes into building their cars. What isn’t mentioned is that the company that built its first automobiles in 1949 is now part of General Motors, the largest automaker in the world. The Saab jet division is separate, still owned by the Swedes. Are the ads misleading? Perhaps, or maybe Saab is attempting to distance itself from General Motors and to stand on its own four wheels. Let’s take a look at Saab then and at Saab now.

Wind powered cars or assisted hybrid wind powered cars of the future may be a great way to build alternative energy vehicles. Perhaps some bright young entrepreneurial company will come up with a kit you can attach to your current car which will allow it to harness wind energy for propulsion and assist in helping your gasoline mileage and at $3.00 plus per gallon we could all get into that idea for sure; no doubt about it.
