I've been looking at this from a Saab lover's point of view, but given that we the American people bailed this failed corporation out, there's another viewpoint to consider:
Selling Saab = GM gets some money > GM closes Saab = incurs shutdown costs.
I know this is a vast oversimplification but I had to put it into terms that a GM executive can understand.
Looking at GM as the bankrupt entity that it is, shouldn't the U.S. Gov't be pushing for a sale versus an expensive "wind-down" as they euphemistically call the death of Saab?
I don't have Ron Bloom (mfg Czar aka "Car Czar") on speed dial, but if any of you do, I think we should give him a call first thing tomorrow morning.
