I think GM deliberately tries to avoid declaring profits in Sweden. US Fed crop taxes are 18% while Swedish crop tax rates are 28%. Michigan state crop tax rate is (I believe) 4.9%. SO GM would transfer profits out of Sweden and into a lower tax environment. But Saab must have a partner, BMW is unlikely as they are already the leader in Saab's target segment. I suspect Fiat, Opel, Renault, Peugeot are more likely. Jaguar is also a good match as they are looking to build critical mass of their dealership network and can share platforms. Saab with the 9-2 to 9-5....then the XF and XJ handling the higher segment. They will need to find a 4 cyl though, I don't think that would be so hard.
