Remember !

They might turn it around yet, but those 9-5 estates might be the last and rarest Saabs of all. 🙁

This may sound harsh Graham, but IMHO the world has spoken... Most people do not want a SAAB, and to me, all this about saving the company is sort of keeping a braindead alive. Miracles (business wise) has happened before, but I'm not sure there's one around the corner for SAAB.

Buy two, get a BMW free?

The next Saab models will have BMW engines: extending a long tradition at Saab of using the best engines available dating back to the Ford Taunus V4.

My 9-5 has the best diesel unit on the market: supplied by Fiat.

Bit like B&O: it buys the best displays etc for its TVs. B&O in turn make the best amplifiers and supply everyone else.

Hope it works out for them and that the new owner is not an asset stripping hedge fund operation!
