Saab has been on the edge since about 1990. Since then, they've lived under the threat of "if this next car isn't popular, then Saab won't survive". The new 900 and the 9-3 along with the popularity of the 9000 kept Saab afloat until the 9-5 came along and breathed some volume into the company. Now, with two strong cars, the new 9-3 and the 9-5, Saab is increasing its sales month to month and making some progress.
I don't see GM pulling out of the upper-income, well educated consumer market that they don't have a prayer of entering with any of their other brands. It is one of the few where there is actually significant profit on car sales. GM needs a brand in that market to compete with Lexus, Acura, Mercedes, BMW, Audi, Volvo, etc.
