The RIP may be correct -- no production since April and no money.
However, I would count the Chinese as lost saviors. The two entitities in question are a distributor and a lower-tier truck and bus manufacturer. Whether these two had the political, technical, marketing, and financial horsepower to save Saab is questionable. There are other Chinese auto companies who could have pulled it off, but didn't bid. I think that labels the deal a long-shot, no matter how much we don't like that.
I think there is a chance that some investor or manufacturer could come in at the last minute and resurrect, but likely TL, TL.
I am deeply sorry, as I thought we were so close to having fully competitive world class cars. Wouldn't give up on the website, though. Lots of cars and owners still out there, and plenty of problems to solved and information to be exchanged.
