For the following reasons:
1) a major auto parts supplier - would be able to wean Saab off GM parts more quickly
2) Large, profitable company (110,000 employees) so has the financial clout (vs. niche manufacturers) to invest
3) Vertically integrates major areas of operations, thus reducing unit costs and driving profit per car
4) Canadian-based - similar climate to Sweden, therefore more likely to emphasize the attributes we all like about Saabs in the past. Will also allow the possibility of a factory that can supply the North American market at a pricepoint that is more competitive. THN will continue to be the design center and manufacturing center for the rest of the world (maybe ex-Latin America).
5) Even GM could not be against Canadians - look how many factories they already have there.
