Well, it isn't a cross-ownership with GM; GM simply owns SAAB. :-)
We'll see, but I think there is too much value in the SAAB and Volvo marques for them to die. Volvo is making some brilliant cars these days, and I agree that SAAB probably has some great cars in the work. Current cars are not so bad either; I'd love a TurboX. It is the re-badging they did in the US and the dragging on of the 9-5 platform that is hurting...
They need a new 9-3, 9-5, that 9-4X cross-over, and a 9-1 (even for the US) would be good. That, and I thought they were going to make a 'Sonnet' using the Soltice/Sky/GT platform. It would really need to look unique though, not an obvious 4th car...
