It's like having your hockey team sign Sean Avery - he's a good player but an even worse person - you still have to defend him! Or the same could be said for signing a Todd Bertuzzi........

I can see that I guess. I'm real interested to see where they go from here. I hear Porsche platforms are now available for sharing. Something from the VW group would suit Sabbs character probably. Or maybe they get something from Peugeut or Citroen. Well, whether or not the line suffers as a result, the story behind the story is that Saab wants GMs claws out of their back.

I would feel more comfortable being owned by the Chinese, who btw own most everything right now, than some people who answer to infvestors everytwhere else.

They should keep a sedan and a wagon, but Saab's quirky hatchbacks were what sold them cars. 2wheeledspeed, the 9-3 and 900 were always hatchbacks until this generation.

Hopefully we'll start seeing some quality interior components in the next 9-3. The current Saab interior looks like it's parts supplier is FISHER PRICE (aside from the GM sourced radio/cd player which is decent looking).....we'll see, I'm hoping. Thank goodness!!!!!!!!
