Is there a plan here?

Nice idea, but it won't do anything, IMHO. Us Saab-heads may have a common interest in Saabs, but like it or not, it is a niche brand and we are a minority within a minority. The average Saab owner, much as they may love the brand, would soon go elsewhere if Saab stores all closed tomorrow. They might not like it, but off they'd go, and 10 years hence fondly remember their Saabs.
A more proactive effort might be to regularly let Jay Spenchian and the other decision-makers at GM hear that Saab is an important brand so they see there is a following that may be worth their attention. After all, Saab owner demographics are pretty attractive. But then again, GM (or any large company) really doesn't care what a small number of customers think.
Come up with $50 million cash, a couple of VCs driving the deal for the rest of the money, and a solid business plan moving forward and then there's something for the weenies at GM to think about.
