Sounds like Wall Street should be behind this one! Actually, it would take two years to generate $600 million in sales… but that’s not including the cost of the car itself. So, yeah, 400,000,000,000 years to pay this loan back.

There is no reason Koenigsegg Group AB should buy Saab. The division should go away.

Just One. Indeed?

But back to our very first point… And it was an exchange, not a real comeback? Man, that sounds fishy. Also sounds like a good story that is just told to get picked up and retold… Damn you, GM!

Recall!

All the way back to when Clinton was in office! Sweet grace that’s a lot of Fords. There’s a good chance the tech that’ll repair your car was eight years old at the time some of these brutes were made.

Can’t Be Real

That car helped kill Pontiac and Saturn. No, it did not single car-ily kill both companies, but it was a excellent example of why both companies failed.

Why DeLorean would want any part of this… Feels like a lot of car companies are just capturing at anything.

Who knew we needed a DeLorean category?

Time To Make A Fresh Category

Is Chrysler going to spin off the Challenger, too? Oh, look, the Challenger brand is up 100% (when they sell their 2nd car).

Gravely, we almost embarked the WTF category when Penske was going to buy Saturn but we scrapped it when Penske scrapped their plans. We determined we’ll budge ahead with the WTF category if Konenenishooterglavenberg makes the Saab purchase official, but now we’re wondering if we should do it now.

Saab On The Brain?

Specifics? Sure, in August and September Saab sold nineteen cars a day. Two months in a row! July? 22. Come on, Saab is totally, totally over. And there is no way any sane company is going to buy it. Just for comparison’s sake, in the time that Saab sold 960-some cars, Toyota sold 300-THOUSAND (cash for clunkers helped this, sure, but come on! Saab sold fewer during the cash for clunkers shenanigans).

Anyway, Saab dead. Let’s budge on.

During the same two months in which Saab sold 960-ish Clever sold over Two,200! And how many Brainy Cars have you indeed seen?

No One Could Have Predicted

So what happens now? Saturn just closes and “the wish” dies. GM never gave Saturn a solid shot. Oh, they commenced to but never followed through decently. The cars never indeed improved and the competition became better and better.

We’re betting the same thing happens with Saab. GM took a niche, but well-loved, brand and made it so very mediocre (No hatch? It’s not a frickin’ Saab if there’s no hatch, duh!).
