I'll be very sad, too, if SAAB simply goes off into the night. Some have speculated that perhaps Sweden has an interest in nationalizing the company. I like the sound of that.
All that said, it is amazing to me that SAAB has existed as long as it has. Maybe the European sales have been enough to keep it afloat as the North American sales numbers tanked over the years.
From what I have read, my understanding is that without GM SAAB would likely have folded in the early-mid 1990s. Despite GM's underwhelming ownership/development of the brand since then, the company has kept SAAB alive and for that I am actually a bit grateful.
