Can you say, "Fat chance?"

Saab has no product to sell if the factory isn't running. Are 9-4Xs even being produced?
The 9-3 is at least a year out if everything was running normally.
Dealers are real thin on the ground.
Parts supply is sketchy for OG9-5 and 9-3SS/SC models. Other parts seem to be mostly OK, but who knows?
Public perception is that Saab is gone, which depresses demand or interest in the brand.
IMO, Saab needs around $1.5 to $2 billion in ready cash to cover the costs it's behind on and to fund operations moving forward. Absent that money and commitment from whomever the owners are, Saab is pretty much done. And that is a very sad thing. (sniff)
So I have four about-to-be orphans in the yard. How many do you have?
