BMW would be the best buyer...
Posted by S.O. (more from S.O.) on Tue, 20 Dec 2011 21:07:14

think of it - INSTANT credibility with news releases stating that
BMW purchased Saab - unlike Spyker or Koenigsegg,the general population knows who BMW is and let's face it they have respect out there. Also, BMW has the marketing power that can easily advertise Saab where it needs to be advertised like during NFL games, etc. BMW bought Mini. Just think what they could do with Saab and now with the bankrupcy - buy it for a song with many dealerships still in place and turn it into the company it deserves to be!
I wish we could organize a petition or something that would encourage
BMW to buy Saab now. Maybe flood their facebook page like we all did to GM?
We can't let our brand die! There simply is no other automobile out there with the following and passion that Saab has worldwide!
