I don't completely understand the GM Bashing

It seems there's a lot of GM bashing on these boards and let me be the 1st to say that I understand everyone's concerns that GM will water-down SAAB's image, quirkiness, heritage etc. BUT, we all need to realize what's worse - if GM hadn't bought SAAB and invested $500 mil/year in the company, it's likely they'd not be making cars at all! That is of course unless someone else would have purchased SAAB rather than GM.
If SAAB cars went out of business, where would you get parts? The value of your car would be in a total spiral - much worse than already. Bottom line is that SAAB is one of the smaller auto makers in the world for a reason - they don't make cars that appeal to the masses and as a result of that were on the brink of financial collapse. That's about to change and everyone here should be thankful. I think/hope GM can make them profitable without taking away their individuality.
Signed,
The proud owner of a SAAB 2001 Viggen Convertible.
