Sadly, I can't even conceive of a viable business plan for Saab.
The unfortunate reality is that few of us in the current Saab community, and almost no one outside the current Saab community, will pony up for a new Saab unless they come with exceptional discounts from MSRP.
I've bought three new Saab 9-3s since Jan 2001 and I bought each one at between $8K-$10K off MSRP. It was to my benefit, of course, since they're great cars for the money I paid but they would be somewhat less great if I had to pay even close to MSRP. The broader market knows this and has spoken...
As for movie plots, years ago whenever I'd fly out of Boston, I'd see people buying live carry-out lobsters at the airport and putting them under their seats in a carry-on box. I thought Stephen King should've written a script in which the lobsters catch on to their fate, escape their underseat carry-ons, hijack the plane, and fly it to Bar Harbor. Of course, after the requisite romantic subplot and the tragic death of a lobster hero, the rest of them escape and live happily ever after off the coast of Maine. [And that, btw, is why I don't quit my day job.]
