Auto Talk: Saab to hire 200 engineers, might build gas cars with Mahindra

The brand formerly known as Saab is still intent on teaching The Little Engine That Could a few ticks about persistence. We say “formerly known” because it turns out that National Electric Vehicle Swedent (NEVS), the Sino-Japanese investment consortium that just bought the majority of Saab’s assets, minus Saab Automobile Parts AB, may not actually own the rights to the Saab brand name. According to a report in Di.se via Saabs United, NEVS will need to negotiate with Scania and the Swedish aerospace and defense group, Saab AB, for the right to name its forthcoming electric car the Saab 9-3.

Auto Talk: Mahindra Pickups To Be Assembled In Alabama Beginning Next Year

Never before has such a little truck had to haul so much baggage. It’s been years that we’ve waited for Mahindra’s T20 and T40 pickups to finally make it to America, and with a dispute between Mahindra & Mahindra’s erstwhile U.S. Importer, GV USA, taking a long time to be settled by arbitrators in London, and dealers filing suits against both Mahindra and GV USA. With GV USA having gone out of business in September, it might be years before we ever see the T20 and T40. Funk Flex Find Flex On Google+
