    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."

      Only if you're a rapist or Pedo! Those seem to be a requirement with the current administration of Idiot47. Never flew on them, I not really heard much good from folks except if your just focused on price.

      What I was really going to post ... This is more of a QUESTION than it is a random post. Have any of you flown on the lesser known airlines like Frontier, Allegiant, etc.? - - - - - I flew on Spirit only once and surprisingly got a good fare from Pensacola to South Florida (Lauderdale, in this case).  It was about $105 with the bag underneath and a window seat.  I got lucky that time.  It was cheaper than driving and less tiring. What about Frontier and Allegiant?  They initially display a favorable price with zero add-ons.  But, by the time you add a rollaboard and a bag underneath, does it come out to about what the legacy carriers might charge?  I always get turned off when I check out Frontier or Spirit, only to find that it's not as cheap as it looks and I don't get miles credited to a significant account. As for Southwest, they're just like the other carriers now ... you pay for bags, good seats, etc. Help needed with the "other" cheapies ... especially Frontier.  Thanks.

      Toyota News: 2027 Toyota Highlander EV: Specs, Range, Price & Trim

      By G. David Felt · Posted

      Kia and Hyundai are pretty much committed to their new EV name space as they have all categories pretty much covered and yet for everyone else, it makes sense to stick with their original names, pretty much Genesis realized this early and in 2023 when announcing the 2024 EV models changed to using their existing names so you had as an example a GV60 or GV60 EV. Makes sense to stick to their original naming.

      I think this is a smart move to make the Highlander EV since you have the Rav4 and Grand Highlander hybrids, you don't need another hybrid SUV, especially when they have 4Runner and Land Cruiser and Sequoia hybrids.   A big reason EV's don't sell is they make the, look quirky or super futuristic or like a space ship or something thinking that is what early adopters wants, and then they dish out terrible names like bZ4x.  If you really want to sell EV's, you make it look generic and use a proven name like Highlander.  People coming back that have owned 3 Highlanders in the past will probably buys this just because they buy Highlanders.
