GM killed SAAB. There is no other way to phrase that murder. GM milked
the SAAB-cow and let the situation rot. That is absolutely scandalous.
All SAAB-ists have to write GM CEO to address their anger and to ask production to resume.

Very sad to hear this. I found a 05 93 Linear Conv. The remote portion of the keys are toast and I need them replaced. I feel for the workers and their families as well as the dealers and supporters and fans of your products. I pray there is a future for the company. My thoughts and prayers are with you.

I would have told gm I am buying SAAB from you. get lost gm. I will give you stock but not controlling stock. As you stupid pieces of *&#!%&? at gm made this mess of SAAB. I wouldn’t trust you gm to take out my trash, let alone have control over my new company. (its my money)

Like Intel processors, how does the IP thing work for them ? Because intel processors were in pc’s and then Macs. ——-This ip non-sense is just that non-sense. Did the Chinese clone the Intel processors? Did Microsoft go after Intel ? or Apple? No.
If he made a UrSAAB-like car it would have taken off and none of this would be. I would have asked my designers to work over time nights weekends when ever, get the new Ipod(SAAB) out there Quick! That one design is what put Apple back on the map. It got people talking about Apple , which lead them to Apple stores, the people saw the Macs and some bought Macs and became loyalist, all from on simple little rink y-dinky Ipod.One NEW product.
Perhaps some new investor will come along and return SAAB to its Own Spot in the automotive world.

Well no matter I love my 9-3 Convertible. I will keep it until it or me turns to dust.

I don’t think it was Victor Muller’s intention to keep GM involved in Saab, but rather a necessity to keep cars (which were designed under GM) to keep flowing until they could get GM-free product ready. It’s really too bad this couldn’t happen, for whatever the reason.

Best wishes to the employees and their families.

Having worked for and within the “Old” GM, it is no surprise that they take the position they do, and to a degree, should not be fully blamed. Why an arrangement could not be concluded for technology and platform use we might not know for a while but business and the free market can be cut-throat. Buying up competetion and shelving their products is not uncommon in software industry. Survival of the Fittest is not equivalent to Survival of the Enlightened. Is there enough Saab Fans to donate to a Save Saab Fund to the degree of capital required to maintain or convince a buyer/salvager to take it over near whole? In the end and the bottom line very sad to say – ts about the money – and there appears to be none. But how many could post at some site what they would donate – or is it too late?
