SAAB to resume production!
Last Updated:
Both the 9-3 convertible and the all new 9-5 sedan will be in production in January.
Weird…
Just a few days after GM announced it was killing the brand.
Now GM says they moved the deadline to find a new buyer to January 7th.
If so, why start production? What if they can’t sell it?
It’s just really weird, but at least there is still a little bit of hope. We could actually see the new 9-5 on the road one day.
A much better though than the recent rumors about turning it into a Buick for the US and an Opel Senator for Europe.
I saw the car in person, and it is a Saab. Nothing else.
And a really good looking one.
GM is using the usual negotiating bluffing BS to get what they need. How much can you squeeze out of a 3 car company?
I always felt there end of dec was just a stupid ultimatum and didnt hold any water, typical lousy Gm decisions, don't they realize we see there press releases and laugh when they cant hold there word ?
A fine example of this was when they said they would not do a pontiac G3 and 3 weeks later they released one to there dealers, boy that was a hot seller ! theyll never learn……
I have to say, I was never a fan of Saab until recently. With the new 93 and its headlight design I started feeling the… Saabness. GM has to stop this badging game! This as a buick!? Even though I like the new design of Buick, really all they are is a fake opel. So are American cars just a joke? Gm sucks
I have seen these pictures. They are of pre-production cars.
Not full production.
i say let them die
they will make enough cars to outfit the GM execs in Detroit just like they did with the G8.
Spyker is pushing to maintain production of the 9-5 and new 9-4X through their current channels and focusing the energy of the company on putting out a totally new 9-3 much earlier than normal since it is the bread and butter model. THey're also looking to raise capital to get a limited-run production model of the Aero-X….. badass! That would be a resurgent Saab if you asked me…. even people who hate Saab had to admit the Aero X was awesome.

And Lexus is a fake Toyota.
And Acura is a fake Honda
And Jaguar is a fake Lincoln
And Volvo s80 is a fake Tarus/500
And Saab is a fake Opel/Chevy
And Maybach is a fake Mercedes S
And Rolls-Royce is a fake 7-series
And Bently is a fake Audi A8
And A6 is a fake Passat.
So, by THIS joker's opinion; I guess ALL luxury are a joke!
Either that, or this gut is just some ignorant idiot who's prejudiced against AMERICAN Ingenuity.
