I pose this question to this board, is it such a bad thing for General Motors to own Saab?? Basically all this does is increase Saab's resources and gives them the ability to build better products and back them up and service them better. All General Motors does is give Saab a safety net, and Saab has access to all them testing materials and car parts' suppliers throughout the world. Look at the other luxury brands that are owned by a conglomerate company, Lexus/Toyota, Infiniti/Nissan, Daimler-Mercedes/Chrysler... It is not such a bad thing. And the Saab 900 that I own is of much higher quality than my 1984 900 which I love very much... but frankly my GM Saab 900 is a better car than the '84 model... and I hear the 9-3 Saabs are even better than the 2nd generation 900s... Saab cars don't lose their personality just because General Motors helps produce the new Saabs... Saab just gains more resources and knowledge, now how can that possibly be a bad thing? peace JC
