Subject: Saab to be sold?  ...GM Denies!


Saab to be sold?... http://www.reuters.com/newsArticle.jhtml?type=businessNews&storyID=7722723 The reasons laid out in the article make sense as a last ditch effort on the part of GM to get some form of return on their Saab venture. However, the article ignores the fact that GM is now much more intertwined with Saab...namely through its model lineup: the Saabaru 92x, the upcoming trailblazer/97x and cadillac BLS to be produced at Trollhattan. It wouldnt be easy to disentangle themselves from all of that. An hour later, GM denies... http://www.reuters.com/newsArticle.jhtml?type=businessNews&storyID=7723756 Would a sale of Saab be good? It would certainly lose the marketing power of GM. There'd be no guarantee that Trollhattan would remain open even with a new buyer. Does Saab need its own manufacturing plant to _be_ Saab? Would they not be better off spending money designing, engineering and marketing cars, rather than actually building them? Or perhaps just build the engines? - tex
