People got mad at me for not being blinded with joy when Spyker took over.
I wasn't unhappy about Saab being under new ownership, just practical.
I simply mentioned that Spyker needed to sell cars, more than GM was doing to make it long term, and needed deep pockets to make it to that point.
Same for NEVS.
I'm hoping they have deep enough pockets to get through until they are selling enough cars, be it in China or wherever in order to make it... and that the Chinese market / gov. whatever, buys enough for Saab to make it this time financially, if that is the plan or part of it.
Sad to say my take is though there were bright spots in the long history of Saab cars financially, it hasn't been easy to sell enough of these cars on and off over many years in spite of a having loyal fan base.
I still wish them well, esp. the folks in Trollhattan and hope there are Saabs in our future that we'd want to own (gas powered, turbo charged hatchbacks).
But I'm glad that they are selling cars even if just for practice and to have a reason keep the light on!
