GM - Save Saab

It looks as if the fate of Saab may soon be complete; barring an agreement between GM and Spyker, or an out-of-the-dark bidder in the next few days. Unlike other GM brands that have gone by the wayside, Saab’s potential demise brought out of the woodwork approximately 30 enthusiasts who braved snow flurries and the bitter cold outside of GM’s global headquarters.

The crowd event was organized by Ryan Emge, editor of Saab.History.com and included almost 30 Saab vehicles congregated near the GM headquarters.

“This is a nice, pleasant gathering,” said the 30-year-old Emge who came from Portland, Maine. “We’re here to gather and show our Saab spirit.”

We should hear something on the issue of Saab later today.

    Wow 30 whole people – that will sway their vote. That seems like a sign that support really isn't there for the lost brand.

    If these people won't buy new Saabs and continue to drive their old ones why should they be surprised that the company has become a sales failure.

    Saab's brand stewardship by GM has been dismal. Saabs of late have been nothing more than Opels, Subarus and domestic GM SUVs. I don't understand what these Saab supporters would hope for with the continuation of Saab under GM management or under a new owner that may take the brand in a totally different direction.
