Good to see that Saab will continue....

Yep, and with Koenigsegg, it will probably get a bit more go! If hubby ever wins the lottery for big bucks, I want one! :driving:

Good news that Saab now has a chance at an owner with some sense of direction, but it's going to take either a major re-working of the business model or a tie-up with another manufacurer to get them going. They've borrowed heavily from the GM Europe parts bin for their current line up, and that'll presumably be closed to them now, especially with Vauxhall and Opel going to a different buyer. I'd like to see the venture work, but I'm not sure if Koenigsegg will be able to provide sufficient means to develop new platforms and powertrains for mass-maket production.

Maybe borrow from the Australian arm of GM. :evil:

All those big V8's that need a new home.

Agreed. Maybe then they can re-introduce another iteration of the Holden Commodore here in America.

I don't understand. GM is selling it but will still provide additional funds. Are they selling it or not? :idunno:
