Finally! I was afraid that after 42 years of driving a Saab I would now have to look for another brand!! What alternative is there? had come to me again and again? Today I can finally sleep well again, it continues! SAAB, stay like this, you are part of my life!

A raven-black day for the doomsday fetishists and a happy day for me!

Nobody except Vm would have managed this hussar piece and therefore I mutate into a fan of this man - if only he had more money himself ...
I would have preferred Tata as an investor, but what is not, can not be changed.

In any case, the unspeakable toads from the Saab forums can retreat back into their caves - of course always with a watchful eye and eagle eyes, which VM is doing wrong again...

Good news for Saab are always welcome in the current situation, unfortunately bad news has been enough.
The world would be a bit poorer without Saab.
Meanwhile, I drive my twelfth Saab (TurboX) with my first car being a Volvo 112S.
I'm pretty Swedish oriented as far as my cars are concerned.
Even if now the Chinese sit on the board so I can only welcome, we all know what GM has done with Saab in the past.
I also keep my fingers crossed and congratulate the customers who ordered a car during the crisis.
To the customers who still have doubts… .. "Buy Saab cars, they are excellent products"

Very good! Finally something works again.
Let's see how quickly the residues are removed and the production is permanently secured.
Would not it be nice if Saab came up with a little thank-you for its customers, who ordered a car despite the crisis. Would be a good sign of loyalty.
