    Saab's New Owner Seeks Permission To Name & Logo

    Earlier this month, National Electric Vehicle Sweden AB (NEVS) bought up the assets of Saab, except for two key items; the name and logo of Saab.

    The Saab name and logo are under control of defense company Saab AB and truck maker Scania, and National Electric Vehicle Sweden has to ask for permission to use it.

    "Every use of the trademark had to be discussed. NEVS can't get hold of the Saab name until we've approved it. That is under discussion right now," Scania spokesman Hans-Ake Danielsson told Automotive News Europe this week. "We have to protect our good name and brand. We have to be sure the new owner will not jeopardize that name."

    Scania explained the decision to protect the Saab name and logo came from when General Motors bought up 50% of the passenger-car division of the company that included Saab AB, Saab Autos and Scania.

    NEVS spokesman Mikael Ostlund said: "All parties are looking for a solution as soon as possible."

    • So much going on, Idiot47 calling for the execution of people that disagree with how he is doing things, this is all so pathetic. As we enter our Thanksgiving week, I am very humble for the friends that I have here at C&G and yes that even includes the ones I disagree with on various topics and debate with be you in the U.S. or out of the U.S.  I wish you all a relaxing, enjoyable time with family and friends for your Thanksgiving Day. I have one wish and that is for the following as we go into the end of the year and Xmas season.   I hope that we can get past sooner rather than later Dumb Dirty Donald and Flamboyant Hollywood Gavin and get a "We the People" President that understands that regardless of your conservative or liberal leanings, we are one country of multi-cultural people and like everyone other than the 1% crowd, we have to live within a balanced budget. Bring the house and senate together to work as they are supposed to represent the people and not the 1%. Balance tariffs for those things that truly are being made under the cost of the current industry still producing manufactured goods in the U.S. and drop all the rest for things that are no longer made or available here. Support the medical insurance for all, stop borrowing against Social Security. Focus on supporting job growth in new industries and not destroying billion-dollar investments trying to live in the past. May you all have a wonderful holiday week or relaxing week if out of the U.S.
    • I am old enough to remember actual colors on cars, miss it.   
    • Agreed, although grey can look good also.    
    • Silver and burgundy will always be #1 for me ... a dark burgundy, so not really red. The only gray I like is the one like the old "dove gray" offered by Buick and Cadillac.  My dad had a Buick sedan in that "dove gray" (the closest thing to it would be the one offered by the more recent Pacifica) with the gray velour buttoned cushion interior.  I borrowed it a lot.  Well, I found it for him!  It looked good and felt like you were driving around in your living room.  But that's it. Life is funny.  In their youth, some of these immigrants could have never imagined sitting in a plush velour car interior and looking at the road ahead through a hood ornament!
