I've been thinking about this over the weekend and have concluded that this decision is one of the worst business decisions I've seen in a long while. Here you've got a potential dealer who has made great strides in the on and off line Saab community, providing top notch customer service, generating immense amounts of positive word of mouth referrals... I mean everything points to a super successful dealership just waiting to happen... I can only conclude that corporate politics took a front seat in this decision to award a dealership to a completely unknown entity in the Saab world with no foundation for any near term success... I guess the good news is we can infer that GM is into Saab for the very very very long haul if they are willing to wait for a cadillac dealer to start from scratch.
