Wow, 30 people care enough about Saab to show up and whine. That sends a pretty strong message, no?

I was hoping someone would catch that.

LOL

I guess people should not work any more.

If you had a Corvette Rally, it would look like an AARP convention.

Actually there were 42 Saab owners that left for Detroit. 11 broke down and 1 was shot and robbed by a gangbanger.

Poor sobbing Saab owners.

We bought my wife a '07 9-3 Turbo. It's a fantastic car, and we've certainly fallen in love with it.

I really was hoping GM would arrange the sale of the company instead of letting it die.

DB - just wait... something expensive will break on that car... that's the sad part about SAAB...

My niece had once and the turbo blew up. Oopsie. That was $2500.

Sister in law has a SAAB. She really loved the car handled great until the turbo failed the following month the computer took a dump. $5200. later she having problems with the electrical. Its only an 07. She's thinking new car maybe Fusion or a great deal on a Saturn.

Formula 1 tycoon Bernie Ecclestone is part of a bid to take over struggling Swedish car maker Saab.


The billionaire has teamed up with the Luxembourg-based investment company Genii Capital, which recently invested in Renault's racing team.


Saab has been put up for sale by owner GM as part of a major restructuring operation, and a bid deadline passed on Thursday.


Ecclestone, 79, told the Bloomberg news agency: "It's a good brand.


"It's a good brand that has probably been neglected by the current owners. We don't own it yet, so let's see what happens."


Genii added that it "will aggressively work towards a successful closing of the transaction with all the relevant stakeholders of the company".


The extent of Ecclestone's involvement in the bid has not been revealed. He is reportedly worth around 3.7billion dollars (£2.3billion).


An offer for 62-year-old Saab has also come in from Dutch bespoke car maker Spyker.


"We believe the Saab brand has lots of potential and would be keen to close a deal as quickly as possible," its chief executive Victor Muller said.


GM's interim CEO, Ed Whitacre said earlier this week he was not confident a deal could be reached.


He said: "It's real easy. Just show up with the money and you can have it.


"Nobody's come with the money, so we're in the wind down deal here."


The US car-making giant has been trying to sell Saab since January last year and increased the efforts after falling into bankruptcy last year.


GM is aiming to concentrate on its own core brands like Chevrolet.
