No great surprise really. They used to be quirky and a bit different in the old days, but they just turned into expensive Vauxhalls in disguise thanks to GM, and I think they'll struggle to get past it.

I hope they don't take Spyker down with them...

I think it's a shame, always liked saabs, especially the earlier ones, 99 turbo, 96 V4 etc, a lot of car for the money up till the 80's imo.

My Old man years ago used to have a Saab 900 Turbo, it had the ignition barrel located next to the handbreak a funky security key fob hi spec, the old man loved it and it really was "different" but being different can become boring, non of the cars they built in the last 10 or more years have inspired me, dare i say i find them Fugly

I've always liked Saab's....if it does slide that really will be a bad thing....nothwithstanding the poor souls who will find themselves out of work.
