I really am just speechless. I've been following every story and comment for the last 5 hours, but still can't quite come to terms with it. Naturally, most of my sadness is for selfish reasons, but I also can't help think of everyone that this is going to directly effect (Saab employees, dealers, suppliers, etc.). I want to think that there is a silver lining to all of this, but after the past year of constant "good news one day, terrible news the next", my mind is beginning to tire of thinking of all the possible solutions.
My heart goes out to everyone in the Saab community. I have absolutely no doubt that enthusiasm for the brand will live on and that Saab will continue to have a presence well into the future, but this is all still very disheartening. The future of Saab may be bright, but this is a truly sad day.
Now more than ever, drive safely and KEEP ON SAABING!!!
