WooDz, I’m trying to pin some people down for a Q&A that addresses the realities of this deal. With VM out of the country, it’s a little difficult, but hopefully we should be able to pull it together.

I got this news just as I was about to jump in my Viggen for a meeting. Hastened to add I was early. nothing like a good bit of news to lighten spirits.

It would be very interesting to know how this leaves SAAB standing financially as there seems to be money flying all over place at the moment and it’s hard keeping track.

From what I’ve heard, there are no plans for a diesel in this generation of the Saab 9-4x. The next one, though…… well, let’s just say it’s looking more likely than unlikely now.

We can assume that Saab can access Hawtai diesel engines, and put them in their cars, such as 94x?

That sounds good. I just wonder what it all means when it comes to working together. Will Hawtai sell SAABs in China? Will they use “our” platforms? Just curious.
