In the documentary I learned something I never knew. That the Subaru Tribeca SUV was originally developed in Sweden by Saab/GM as the 9-6X including it's pretty neat dashboard design and would have included a V8 engine option, then when GM sold their 20% stake in Subaru the project went to Subaru who stuck a Subaru engine in it and sold it as the B9 Tribeca. GM then had Saab put out the 9-7X (Trollblazer).
Also I didn't know much about the lawsuit that Spyker took out against GM for blocking their ability to sell the company. GM truly did everything in their power in the background w/ contracts, restrictions, parts supply chains, etc to make sure Saab was dead forever (that part I did know).
