The value of SAAB would be many things to each of those companies. VAG, another brand with a non-germanic feel with a N. American reach. For BMW a similar value to VAG, but the ability to share MINI R&D with a completely different customer set while also sharing SUV platforms with BMW. Volvo simply needs more scale, so a great opp to share tech and manufacturing while at the same time delivering a different flavor of Swedish. Also, the bankruptcy of SAAB would hurt the very same suppliers Volvo relies on and would drive it's costs up. The suppliers may agree to take equity instead of $$ since there is no $$ anyway, so they may decide it is better then just taking a hit and to see if they can make SAAB work.
