Despite Kerkorians pleas to ditch Saab, Wagoner wants to keep Saab and develop it, which ultimately, is the best solution. I hear a lot of this "sell it to Ford so they do it like Jaguar". Jaguar hasn't turned a profit, well, ever in the Ford era, and Ford has piled a lot of cash into it. And for that investment you have a lineup of cars that aren't exactly lighting the marketplace on fire. And a rebadged Mondeo! Toyota is not "into" buying carmakers. An occasional association of sharing technologies, but not all-out purchases. I doubt BMW would ever want to touch another carmaker after the Rover fiasco! Ford is in enough "deep doo doo" as it is, they won't even go near Saab anyway.
