BUT it would not have survived without someone else coming in. In other words, Saab's savior could just as easily have been Ford or VW or someone like that, but in either event Saab was not going to make it without the resources of a large car company behind it.
GM beat them all to it, to GM's credit. But the mere fact that GM saved Saab is not a reason to worship GM's every move or to refrain from criticizing GM for missteps.
