I think GM changed the rules for buying SAAB once they made the decision to keep Opel. GM doesn't want competition from the new 9-5 for the Opel Insignia in Europe, and the new-to-US Buick Regal (from China) will be a rebodied Insignia, so they don't want competition for that in the US. Also, the new 9-4 would compete in the US with the Cadillac crossover. Suddenly, they decided it would be better to shut down SAAB than to try to compete with it, so they adopted an impossible negotiating stance for those interested in purchasing SAAB.
