    Saab close to bankruptcy?

    In little reported news, looks like they may go bust.

    They are still scrabbling to find a (Chinese) backer.

    Who here would buy a Saab?

    Rebodied Vauxhall with BMW/Mercedes running costs but without the quality or resale value.

      True, but in the 80's they used to be a viable alternative to BMW/Mercedes.

        The old 900 Turbos with the vertical small windscreen were fantastic, but since then they have been awful

          They were great in snow and icy weather too, but by the 90s they felt a bit tank like and dated. The 9000 was a decent drive, but somehow they got stuck at that point, and GM took over shortly after.
