Ok, I will say it. The last management of Saab, killed Saab. And yes, I didn't have enough money for a NG 9-5 without a sunroof at $54k. You can blame GM until the cows come home, but any careful study of the situation will tell you that GM prolonged Saab's life by 10 years at least. So GM is not the killer here. Who was? It was the company and it's customers, reading the blogs and thinking Saab customers wanted what the bloggers were saying. These so-called buyers who refused to accept change in the marketplace. And how many of these true beleivers of the old Saab myth were ready to buy? Obviously less that 30,000. Sometimes the worst focus group you can talk to is the current group of owners.
In the words of Pogo," we have met the enemy, and they are us!" Besides, aren't we getting ahead of ourselves, are they really dead? Ask the Chinese.
p.s. still making payments on a now worthless 9-7X. Please mark my Saab loyality debt, paid in full.
