It will take a lot more than a Konanstig backer to get Saab looking like a respectable buy…

I just cant imagine someone actually walking into a Saab dealership and ever buying one at full price….just the thought makes me ***shudder*** …you would have to be seriously demented.

What hope does a small volume producer like Koenigsegg have in trying to turn around a basketcase like Saab. (GM’s fault for lack of investment)

Saab has been bleeding money for as long as I care to remember so is it really sustainable?

This is the way i like it, nationalistic countries buying back their own companies and not undesirable countries with money buying thoroughbreds.

This is fantastic news. SAAB has been a wasted brand under the iron fist of GM. Let’s see what it can become with design creativity and engineering intelligence replacing third-generation accountants.

I think a lot of good things could come out of this alliance. I hope that Koenigsegg actually do something with Saab. GM have completely wasted them and I feel sorry for them. Saab have the potential to make brilliant cars and I hope they do. We may even see a super car.

I am actually excited by the prospects of this Swedish alliance of Koenigsegg and Saab. I don’t know if this is true, but I heard they let their employees work nude while listening to ABBA. Just a rumour.
