Here's a "crazy" idea

Most of the internal parts of the new 9-5 are probably shared with Caddy and the revitalized Buick. For the unique external parts, if Saab/Spyker does go under, would it be possible for the company to put the CAD/CAM designs of the 9-5 specific parts online? since the whole premise is that no one would be using them to make the parts for sale. Then the end users can use 3D printing technology to make those non-engine non-structural parts. Check out these youtube videos for 3D printing:
"http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZboxMsSz5Aw" for replicating a wrench
"http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u7h09dTVkdw" for replicating a ball bearing
If this is to happen, the new Saab 9-5 will be the first car immortalized by internet and 3D replication technology.
