That's pretty much what we were told at the SOC this year. Production ending with the "Griffin Edition" which was to be available from November until they sell out.
They need time to re-tool for the new 9-5, assuming there is to be one...
I can't imagine, if they are this close to production (as in they'd be building them by March or April to start selling them by July or August), that they'd can it. I may be wrong, but if you're honestly looking to sell the brand off, it makes more sense to me to start building and selling them, since you're already in debt for the R&D and the tooling.
The original 9-5 sold like hotcakes when it was introduced. If the new 9-5 is as much head and shoulders above the current 9-5 as the original 9-5 was over the 9000, then it should do nearly as well. Which just might make Saab that much more of an attractive acquisition target.
