Although I don't know why Paul Miller is closing (but see my post above), I wouldn't blame Saab entirely for the Shrewsbury Motors situation. As told to me by a salesman at Paul Miller who had been one of the senior guys (I think) at Shrewsbury. Saab approached Shrewsbury in 2005 and requested that they build a small, separate Saab showroom building on their property so as to separate it from the Volkswagen showroom, which, if you know Shrewsbury, is a somewhat outdated facility not in keeping with the modernistic standalone Saab dealerhsips that you see in other locations. Shrewsbury basically told Saab to go f*** themselves. Saab, however, had an ace in the hole in that Gold Coast Cadillac-Hummer in Ocean Township told Saab that they wanted the franchise. A year later, when the franchise was up, Saab said goodbye to Shrewsbury only to then be told by Gold Coast that "sorry, we're trying to sell our dealership, and we don't want Saab anymore." Gold Coast was actually sold this past winter, I believe. I think Saab's intentions were good, but they shot themselves in the foot and left us in Monmouth County without a dealership.
