I hope SAAB gets saved. It's always been a brand I've liked.
If you look at the history you see that they have been slowly killed by GM's mismanagement of the brand and a failure to invest and advance the name. If you look at the Germans and even Volvo they have diversified their brands. These firms used to build just saloons and estates but now make everything from hatchbacks to SUVs. SAAB ignoring US only Saabarus on the otherhand have stuck with their two car range.
However, they reckon that a Swiss(?) investment firm (Who own Renault F1) and Bernie Ecclestone are also bidding to bail them out. I hope they succeed as the next 9-5 looks like a genuinely class product and the 9-4X can enable them to move into new markets.
