Saab is chinese for what I know, and Volvo still american. But the very invention of the companies is and will always be swedish and they have made a lot of neat models during the years. I myself actually drive an old Saab 96 V4 from 1969, which has no problem starting in -20° C. So yes, our car history I am very proud of actually.
And I'm not at all fond of the IKEA stuff although I totally admire the entrepeneurship of its founder, coming up with an idea that would end up a worldwide phenomenom.
But in the end I don't really like the notion of taking pride in my fellow countrymen. I much rather take pride in what I do myself.
Anyway, thanks for your regards!
