    别了,萨博!

    1980年上映了一部电影Berlin Chamissoplatz,男主角是一个柏林的建筑师,他爱上了女房东安娜,两个人后来开车前往意大利进行了甜蜜之旅。男主人公开着一辆萨博900轿车,他也睡在这辆车里,在这辆车里吃早餐。 

    在这部电影上映后不久便出现了一个令人惊奇的现象:只要口袋里有些钱的建筑师,都给自己买了辆萨博。涡轮增压发动机的呼啸升成为了创意职业的标志。过去代表建筑师的蝴蝶领结和柯布西耶眼镜被萨博敞篷车所取代。随后,其它讲究个性的职业人群也跟进了:报纸杂志的主编们,只要不开捷豹,就开萨博。

     

    萨博也是一个反映国家间文化差异的例子。在美国,夹在雪佛兰中间的萨博显得非常小,从而成为“反消费主义”的表示,并成为左翼自由主义东岸知识分子的象征。而众多开着萨博的反战人士并不知道,萨博原本就是一个武器制造企业,只是从1947年开始出产汽车。

     

    而在萨博的故乡瑞典,人们对萨博则是另外一种看法。就如同宝马车对于德国人一样,萨博车对很多瑞典人来讲是一个过分夸大运动的,甚至是几乎不严肃的事情。萨博车主家里摆放的是黑色的宜家柜子,而不是松木组合柜。

     

    在德国,从雷诺4转到萨博意味着从亲法派到亲意派,从拿铁咖啡到双份特浓咖啡,从生存主义到后现代主义。萨博既优雅又实用,是飞机未来主义和社会民主实用主义的萃取物。第一辆萨博是Sixten Sason设计的,看上去就像一架去掉了翅膀的萨博轰炸机。然而,自从萨博开始在Trollhaettan的厂里与欧宝共用底盘,就如同将名字从900改为9-3一样,是一个投降书。“选我吧!我是一个由宜家变出来的宝马三系!”

     

    现在萨博申请破产保护了,建筑师们、设计师们、编辑们将来开什么车呢?
