Re: End of SAAB story?
Read about that earlier today. I really would have wanted to see what kind of Saabs Koenigsegg would have produced. Perhaps they would have become "interesting" again.

Re: End of SAAB story?
The thing that burns me is that it wasn't actually Saab getting cold feet like the Associated Press suggested... the Swedish government dragged their feet securing the loans they promised to the Koenigsegg group, and the delays closed their window of opportunity.
Stupid stupid Swedish government Bork Bork Bork!

They better man something. Around the world on Sunday there will be hundreds if not thousands of Saabers having meets at GM and Saab facilities, DC, NYC, and many other places. There was a huge gathering in Taiwan a few days ago.
