No promises and no proof...just hope.

See the article linked below. It's definitely a different perspective than what we've seen on here so far. It's clear that nobody knows for sure what's going to happen. I think it almost comes down to the point that if Saab does end up dying, then more people would prefer it to be at the hands of Koenigsegg than Merbanco...and especially Renco. The coming weeks will be very interesting and the next few years even more so. Since details have not been released, there's no telling what kind of power and money the investors behind Koenigsegg have...if the most recent reports are true. I guess I'm personally prepared for just about any outcome, but I wouldn't be surprised to see Saab scaled WAY back and kind of "start from scratch" in a few years after GM is completely and totally out of the picture and then come back bigger, better, and stronger. Then again, that would hurt employment in Sweden at least for the short-term and possibly defeat the purpose of Sweden giving Saab government loans. All we can do is hope for the best. Drive safely and KEEP ON SAABING!!!
