Saab saved?

[fordpoplier]

forgive me if this is old news and who knows anything about Spyker but surely this can't be bad news.

They have bought them now, they say. Sure they had 'bought them' a couple of months ago, and then they didn't.

Not to plug my own website but re: Saab's sales:

I think the first couple of offers were refused, must have stumped up a bit more or else Gm dropped the price...... If this is really happening, I can't help but think they are getting in over their heads a bit, especially if they keep producing the same old DULL 9-5. At least there's hope! One little ray of sunshine from this story though, I didn't realise they had canned Hummer!! Best news i've heard all year!

GM need to can at least 50% of the cars they produce, 99% of it from America. Same with Ford and the rest of the lookalike stuff.

That's the end of Saab in it's current form then [and no bad thing, as the GM based stuff is pretty awful] Judging by what Spyker produce at the moment, Saabs of the future could be fairly interesting!

And Audi-engined?

Good, because Saabs of the past were fairly interesting too :)I'm not going to jump on the "rebadged Vectra" bandwagon but present-day Saabs are, well, dull. They lost all their Saabness years ago.
