Ha en 9-5 Kombi.
* relax ladies, “slut” is the Swedish for “end” or “finish”.

I’m surprised Sweden hasn’t changed the word, given their hyperfeminist reputation.

It’s just a word and doesn’t mean anything else in Swedish. It’s also the verb “to finish/stop/quit” etc. I suppose if you were to cull any word that has an inappropriate meaning in some foreign language or other there mightn’t be much left!

Of all the brands that died: Mercury, Pontiac, Saturn, Hummer, and Oldsmobile way back when, Saab hit me the hardest. Maybe someone will buy the rights and bring it back. I’d love that.

I’ve heard that headline before. Thankfully just from Swedish people.

I still miss Saturn. I know the name lives on, but I miss Jeep too.

Yeah - that brand is pretty much diluted ... I remember renting a 2000 Grand Cherokee and enjoying it ... today? I don’t like to think about it.

Real Jeeps have AMC 6s.

I won’t go that far, but I’ll say this: for me, a Grand Cherokee with a turbodiesel 6 or the gasoline 6 like the one I rented had would be fine. Let me crank up the windows and manually adjust the seats. Sure, put ABS in and as many airbags as you can stuff into it, but if I want a backup camera or leather, I’ll order it. But ordering a car with precisely what you want is almost no longer possible.

They technically died half a decade ago, but they will be missed.

I miss GEO... small/cheap cars made either by Suzuki or Isuzu.
I liked the Geo Storm in particular.

Suzuki is gone from US America. And we are the poorer for it.
