Saab
Defunct Nordic carmaker
Saab is a Swedish manufacturer originally known for aircraft, later automobiles.
The cars earned a reputation for quirky engineering and devoted owners: My parents drove nothing but Saabs.
The automotive division went bankrupt in 2011, though the aerospace company continues.
Saab drivers were stereotyped as professors, architects, and NPR listeners.
