More predictions....

Checked up on the Autoextremist.com website (a sort of muscle car oriented place where they routinely trash GM management, and now DCX as well since it's German:-), and they once again wonder out loud why Saab should be allowed to exist as a separate marque within GM when Olds is being euthanized, and GM itself says it needs to cut their model lineup further. Their words: "Saab. A stand-alone division that exists on incentive-ized leases alone? It won't continue. Look for Saab to be somehow worked into the Saturn lineup."
One could always retort that the demographics of Saab owners are different from those of Saturn or most other GM makes (and whether GM wants to keep those customers or lose them to another Euro nameplate). Not to mention the leading edge "tech" aspects of Saabs--like whether the General would have ever come up with the variable compression engine or SCC--but I'm just speculating. Comments?
