I got some SAAB 900 in my life ( from mid 80's untill mid of 90's)....A real pleasure to drive those cars, specially for someone like me, covering an average of 70000 km a year at this time !
Do you know the engine block was originally a Triumph engine block reviewed by SAAB enginers !! ??. Keeping the Block made by Triumph they have designed a completely new " cylinder head" in aluminum.....
So the SAAB 900 was also a Triumph...
Also means that Triumph motors were not bad...because it gave one of the strongest "1999ccm3 engine" of this time( some versions with Turbo + 16 valves were able to endure a power of 200 Ch)

Not at all! Have you ever heard about the famous company Baur? (just ask my wife ). But that's another topic and NMR.

Yet - I do have very much sympathy with HAG and I'm also worried about their recent troubles; hopefully they will overcome the sitution and have again the needed success in customer demands as it seems to happen with Märklin too.

I have (quite) a number of ROCO products as well - no clue where they have been manufactured (Austria, Slovakia, China or even now Romania). As long as (also very often not lower than Märklin, GFN, etc.) prices and delivered quality meet my expectation it's fine with me; so no different at all. Unfortunately, as we all know they encountered severe quality issues in a number of areas in conjunction with the general market recession which finally resulted in the company's bancrupcy.

Although everyone has to make his/her own judgement on this, I personally don't think that the general opinion here and elsewhere with regards to "outsourcing" is very much apart.

Yes I do.I've read Auto Motor und Sport for years.

Cheers to the Webmaster on his handling of the ugliness, even if some of you are drinking that watery stuff known as American beer.

Good, because this was getting cheesier than a cheesy soap opera ;)
