Return of the 2-Stroke Engine
I knew that 2 cycles shouldn't be dead but had forgotten about them for quite awhile. I always was thinking about how Detroit Diesel two cycles worked in a wet sump and the oil still contaminated the intake. NOW this makes perfect sense, one thing could the charge pump be made quite small? and with a variable output so as to allow for turbo supercharging? This may complicate the intake plumbing but lower pumping parasitic frictional losses while adding to fuel economy. Also I could see a very small version 750-800cc to be used as a range extender in Voltic systems. While we're thinking this way a diesel would also work in this environment I'd like to see those torque estimates. Good work and thanks for the effort my mind is willing but my education holds me back

Woodgrain Trivia!
Per Wiki Sportsgrain option similar to the woodgrain trim on the Town and Country station wagons of this period. The Sportsgrain Newport was intended to bring back the spirit of the late 1940s Town and Country convertibles but amounted to little more than a fancied-up Newport as there were no other modifications and interior trims were the same as standard Newports. Production of the 1968 Sportsgrain Newports amounted to 965 hardtops and 175 convertibles. Sportsgrain was back for the redesigned 1969 Newport 2-Door Hardtop and Convertible, however, orders for the option were so tiny that Chrysler never released the numbers of 1969 Newports so equipped. Mercury tried a similar approach to the Sportsgrain Newport in 1968 by offering woodgrain "Yacht Paneling" as an option on its Park Lane coupes and convertibles, which also didn't garner much buyer interest.

Interesting use of front spoiler to keep the headlights clean while not scraping the ground to get down pressure.

SAAB FILES
Looks like SaaB needs the bankruptcy to clean up the cost like GM did, unfortunately I don't think that the courts in Sweden will allow for sweeping change in labor contracts there. That's the reason that GM let them go I'd think the cost to do business there are too high as in most of the EU look at how much Opel has lost.
