I don't have high hopes in the brand being able to turn around but it is still good news nonetheless. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

06mariner Posted January 26, 2010 Share Posted January 26, 2010 This is really great news! ...my computer teacher has a family run Saab dealership thats been around for over 25 years and the last couple months have been really stressful for them. In the small area that I live in there is a lot of loyalty with the Saab brand....it would have been a disaster here if they hadn't been saved. I wish them luck, they really are going to need it.

97svtgoin05gt Posted January 26, 2010 Share Posted January 26, 2010 Meh, I didn't lose a wink over the demise of Saab. I think it will just drag Spiker down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

one2gamble Posted January 27, 2010 Share Posted January 27, 2010 I actually think this could be good for both brands Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chester Posted January 27, 2010 Share Posted January 27, 2010 (edited) I like Saab. I've owned three over the years. A 900 that I gave to my niece at 260k miles. And two 9-5's (1 sedan and 1 wagon). All bought used. The 900 was one of the best cars I've ever owned. It was tough, but sporty enough. Decent build quality etc. Hardly anything ever went wrong with it. When I bought it, Ford really didn't have anything like it. (Looks to be changing with the new Focus, Fiestas coming out). The 9-5's were purchased after we gave away the 900. I bought the Sedan and not long after my wife got the wagon. They were pretty good cars as well, but both had a fair amount of expensive repair work done. I don't think I'd get another 9-5 after the experience (although they were pretty decent cars). The 900 was very nice, just too small for the family. I hope Saab does well, and it's a good to see them set free from the GM umbrella. Edited January 27, 2010 by Chester Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
