As a serial Saab owner, I'm fretting about the brand's future. GM reported today that through Feb 08, Saab sold 2,661 cars, down 27.7 from the same period in 07. This is by far -- ridiculously so -- the fewest number of sedans sold within the GM family. I don't know how the Saab #s break down between 9-5 and 9-3.
In comparison, Chevy sold 117,017, up 3.2, boosted by the new Malibu. Cadillac sold 19,853, up 21.5, boosted by the new CRT.
I would hate to have to answer the arguments made by GM's bean counters about profitable allocation of limited resources.
The GM news release said the results show the power of new products, even in slow markets.
That 2010 9-5 had better be a heckuva car. Especially if it's competing for the attention of CRT shoppers.
As I've said before, my usual consumer's strategy is to take advantage of Saab's depreciation and buy a cpo at an attractive price. This strategy depends, of course, on the availability of previously owned 9-5s. At this rate ...
I hope I'm just being a worry wart.
