That, and a few other commercials are why I tape the morning broadcast as I leave for work, then watch it (fast forwarding through the commercials) when I get home that evening.

Think you're sick of the Saab commercial? You've probably seen every commercial that's going to be on the broadcasts, and you've got 21 days of repetition coming . . . . over and over and over and over and . . . . . . . . . .

Likewise, I love Saabs. And I've certainly heard worse taglines than "born from jets". After all, the twelve guys who designed the first Saab (and a few models thereafter) were aeronautical engineers. Saab is first and foremost an aviation company. And the car division is part of General Motors, which is why the last 13 years worth are rather vanilla compared to their predecessors.
