It's pretty common knowledge that GM cooked the books, making Saab lose as much money as possible for the tax breaks in tax-heavy Sweden. As for their motivation, I don't really know, but they are possibly one of the worst run large companies in the history of the free market, so it's hard to put any level of stupidity past them. Except, in the end, I guess they're really smart - they managed to rack up billions of debt and then get the public to pay it off for them. When you fix the game, it's pretty hard to lose.
