Re: Saab made $300 Million loss in 2005.

I'm for the one who will deeply miss Saab.

God I hate General Motors!

GM should have left Saab well alone, like Ford did with Jaguar, until they came up with that Mondeo in a fancy drag, which they call it as the Jaguar X-Type and as far as I can tel: It have been a sales flop.

A Saab has to be something Prestigious, Unique and not an Opel/Vauxhall Vectra under a fancy drag, regardless if the new Vectra is a competent car.

I'd rather see BMW or even Renault to buy Saab, than watch the WORST car company in the whole world, to kill an once cool (GM Saabs are not cool) Swedish (European) brand, that was starved by a malefic American corporation.

Even Toyota would be a good buyer for Saab. Specially, when they do realize that Lexus isn't exactly the sales hit as they were expecting, in the European market.

Now wonder, they are now introducing Turbo-Diesel engines in the new Lexus IS and soon the Lexus GS.

Being a global brand established in 60 countries, and with a respectable heritage, Saab would help Toyota to expand its Upscale share in Europe and around the world.

Hopefully GM will be out of business really soon.
