A reasonable question. In Danish language, the 'aa' is often used as
a substitute for the letter å (if you don't have the å key). This
would suggest Såb, but that is of course completely wrong.

Well, if looked at the actual abbreviation that SAAB stands for: Svneska
Aeroplan AktieBolag (roughly Swedish Aeroplane Limited) the both a's should
be pronounciated as one long a. Phonetically written sahb.

I have some vague memories that it was once pronounced Såb in Denmark,
many years ago.

the å in danish and swedish has an aw sound... So if Såb was the
pronunciation in danish, it would phonetically translate to S'awb(emphasis
on the primary syllable)
