I thought BAIC was associated with Spyker... I've forgotten now though to be honest... that whole process was such a mess...
CvK iirc said something along the lines that GM was dragging its feet over the deal, and basically to the point that it went on too long to make it viable - he felt there was a narrow window of opportunity... remember, SAAB lost customers very quickly with all the bad news and uncertainty. Whether that would have worked with Koenigsegg, I don't know, but I do know that within the market segment in which he operates, he is totally on the right track. The cars are fantastic, and it is all about the cars... whether or not he could have achieved similar success with a mass-produced car, I don't know... could have easily spread them too thin... but it was cool to see the 9-5 with the prototype engine valve system fitted...
