Surely it can see that there is a profitable future for Saab. With all the support shown over the last year and a half by Saab fans across the world. No other car company has this passionate following and loyalty. GM you are making a big mistake! The writers of automobile history will not be kind to you. GM, you can save Saab on your own!

If partial Chinese ownership in combination with European ownership can happen, then it must. GM have to allow Saab to survive. The Chinese duo must be happy with an initial partial stake in Saab. There has to be some European based investment interest. As Swade keeps on reiterating, and I absolutely agree with him, Saab's products, heritage and prospects for a future are just too damn great to be allowed to die! The Swedish Government should be utterly ashamed of itself. Come on! I want to see my New 95 estate on my driveway. I will be ever so proud! Don't let the   most inspiring car company, that has many incredible things still to do, disappear.  Well, I for one am still not going to accept that no deal for Saab cannot be struck.

The 2005 and 2006 9-3s on the street in Lubbock look great. Maybe it's our local dealer or our weather. When I start thinking about new cars, I just get my 9-3 a car wash. My 9-3 looks as good as anything on the new car lots. Maybe you should start thinking of your Saab as a piece of Art. Just a thought. My 2008 9-3 as pictured is also in great shape.

We both hope the Saab re-org goes well. I ran into another Saab owner at a gas station today.  We both LOVE our cars.
