I hope that the existing management arranges a buyout of the branding + some minimal subset of the existing technology + equipment at a firesale price. The likelihood of that happening is probably close to zero, but clearly the people in Trollhattan are passionate about SAAB and will do all they can.
Honestly, GM has sucked the life out of the newer cars - they're still nice cars, but the uniqueness + innovation has been sapped. The NG9-5 held little appeal to me - more GM than ever. It is time to start again. It's a new world, and cars are going to be very different 5 years from now than they have been. If brands like Tesla, Koenigsegg, + Spyker can survive + build a business, the much stronger management team at SAAB should be able to do better. But the likelihood of it actually happening is diminishingly small.
very disappointing!
