From The Spirit of Saab, Rolf Bleeker, page 50: Schizophrenic love When the first news of Saab's new four-stroke engine shook the two-stroke world in 1967, even the editors of the magazine "Consumers' Reports" were deeply shocked. Hearing that Saab was to produce a V4, they complained to Lennart Lonnegren. "How can you give up the marvellous two-stroke engine?" they said. "Are you mad?" Lonnegren could not believe his ears. "Consumers' Reports" had been belittling Saab's two-stroke engines for years, and now it was complaining when they were about to drop them. Schizophrenic? Two strokes, two viewpoints: the technical staff on the one hand recognized that the Saab two-stroke was a wonderful engine but on the other hand they felt it was completely unsuitable for the average consumer. At least that's how "Consumers' Reports" saw it.
