Such a bummer, my family has had Saabs on and off since about 1980 (I owned two myself). Of course, wouldn't have even considered buying one for the last ten years, which I guess was the problem.
Saab, with a narrow following focused in Sweden, Britain and the United States Northeast, proved too small to lure the world’s big automakers, many of which are seeking tie-ups to increase economies of scale.
Saab’s last hope proved to be Spyker Cars, a tiny Dutch maker of high-end sports cars, but problems that could not be overcome cropped up as G.M. examined whether Spyker would be a viable partner.
