Some swedish newspapers are writing about a possible link between Spyker - possible buyers of Saab - and a potential rally-venture. The combining factors are said to be these:
- Saabs rally-history goes way back.
- The S2000 will make it cheaper for manus to engage
- Spyker are very interested in presenting their brand in motorsport, and the Saab name could help them.
So, it would be a marriage of tradition and ambition.
To further fuel these speculations Kenya and USA are brought forward as examples of countries where Saab have sold quite a lot of cars due to their rallying-ventures. A fact is that in Kenya they sold even more cars then in Germany and France.
Now, these are speculations, but I can´t help finding them rather inspring!
