On the weekend we had a protest of Saab owners heading to the GM headquarters asking GM to sell the brand rather than scrapping it. I guess they don't read the news much.Quote:

Yep. It'll take a miracle for Saab to survive. Such a pity
I only have a Dutch reference, though a reliable in that.
"GM confirms Spykers purchase of Saab".

I'm very curious how long Spyker will succeed in this, let alone what their ambitions are with Saab. But glad the brand is still alive, ..for now.
Isn't this like a minnow swallowing a trout? Spyker is a small sportscar manufacturer and Saab is a pretty decent sized car make. I realize I may not have the whole picture here, but I am sort of unsure this will work, but hey, anything that means I can buy a Saab 5 years from now will make my day. Saab's are one of my favourite car makes because even after the GM takeover they were always unusual, innovative and iconic.Quote:

Spyker sold 43 cars in 2008 when it posted a loss of $35m (£21m). Its first offer to GM for Saab was rejected.
Six-year-old Spyker, which sold another 23 cars in the first half of 2009, has yet to make a profit.
I don't geddit.
I would almost say that Spyker is a money laundering operation. I don't understand how they keep going. Anyway, the Spyker stocks had a few bumps these past weeks and that's all that matters :mad:
