I didn't understand back when it was sold to VM, how selling something failing to a much smaller company that is also a failing business would be good...
Spyker was pretty finished financially before the saab deal. Well I'm not a finance guru, but sometimes when the layman understands something is seriously wrong, why don't the "experts"?

You can only take a Vauxhall Vectra and rebadge it as a luxury car for so many years before your market base dries up. They're better off being owned by the Chinese.

SAAB hasn't been profitable since 1993 or so. Its time they go bust.

Melbourne Saab dealers are clearing their 9-5 stock as up to 30K discount for the new Vector.... as they don't want to sit on unsold & impossible to get rid-off stock when Saab formally declare that they surrender for good
