Interesting article, and it highlights the massive overcapacity in the European auto industry. [While it's not said in the article, sadly the market there has no need for a relaunched Saab.]
It also highlights the inability of German dealerships to sell their Opels at prices the market will support. They have to look for 'creative' ways to sell below list price.
It reminds me of my days in West Berlin in the early-80s. No matter what product you were looking for, the price would be the same at the neighborhood shop as it would be at the larger stores in the center of the city because the government essentially set the price and only allowed two sales per year so the larger volume sellers couldn't undercut the little guy. No price competition and even less customer service.
