The author's primary reason for Saab not surviving is sales "tanking" in 2010. This is without acknowledging that a lot of reason for that was there was no new inventory to even sell until about April/May due to GM shutting down the plant at the end of 2009 up through the sale to Spyker, and there was very little old inventory from 2009 left to sell. Also, no mention of the fully funded business plan that is intended to tide things over until they got the dealers going again with new stock, etc. Looks like the author just looked at sales numbers and extrapolated form there with no additional research.
Is it a sure bet that Saab will survive? No, but they ain't folding up this year as the business plan is funded through 2012. And there is no way they survive beyond that if they abandon the US market.
