~Hang on you lot, there absolutely nothing inthere saying Saab has gone bust. It’s patently obvious you muppets don’t like Saabs. I have no doubts about them continuing with or without GM. Probably what will happen is Volvo and Saab will combine develope their own cars on bought in floorpans and engines all tweaked to their own requirements. Either that or a private entrepreneur will snap them up pretty cheaply.

Oh and I sat in a 93 for the first time yesterday, well impressed overall and certainly a change from sooo many Audis.

Saab haven’t had a decent product to sell for over a decade. There’s only so much market for turbo charged, understeering front wheel drive in the world. I don’t think GM has made much (if any) money from the Saab division since taking them over all those years ago. I personally won’t miss Saab but it’s sad to see competition go. Less competition = higher prices + lower quality down the track

When you try to sell $30K Vetras in drag for $80K, isn’t this the logical outcome?

This should be happening to GM worldwide in an effort to stop them from siphoning public monies, they take evrything but give little back.

It’s most likely just an administrative bungle since they’ve just gone into recusonstruction under Swedish law. Latest reports indicate that GM will guarantee the payments and Saab expect the production line to be up and running again tomorrow.
