Hi all,
We’ve received a few comments, and a few submissions via the contact page, asking for some clarification as to what’s being reported in various press outlets right now.
If you’re a regular Inside Saab reader, you’ll know that I’m currently on vacation and away from Sweden. That limits the amount of current information I have access to and thus, what I could possibly say on Inside Saab about these reports.
Regardless of being away, however, I don’t think there is much that I would be able to say right now, anyway. The situation is quite delicate at this point in time and our ability to comment on any ongoing matters is very restricted. We remain as a listed company and cannot comment on speculative matters being reported in the press.
I know that a lot of Saab fans and other stakeholders are concerned for the future right now and I can assure you that our executive continues to work tirelessly towards securing this future. We will comment further when there’s more that we can say.
In the meantime, thanks as always for your support. It is felt, and it is appreciated.

As always, when following news stories about Saab, I’d recommend you read my quick guide to internet journalism and wash the news through the filter of your own research.

Thanks Swade!
Enjoy the rest of your holiday! 🙂
We will all hope the best for this amazing and outstanding, small car-brand!
Regards: Troels
This coming week will be strategic . Will Youngman transfer the 70 Millions Euros ? Will the NDRC give its green light ? What will the swedish government do with the EIB loan ? Let’s wait , see and eventually pray .
Just look forward to the period everything gets back to normal.
Have confidence that this period will soon be there.
Thanks for your comment, Swade, better than everything else which is said out there…
A post about nothing? I was thinking there might be a Seinfeld reference.
Peter, you’re a man after my own heart, obviously. A master of your own domain!
Yes, but how long can you drive your Saab on empty?
I’ll push my Saab to school and back before I buy a(n) *insert other brand you don’t like*
I thought you meant this Seinfeld clip:
How about a post with the answers (part 2) of Q&A, please
I’ll be working on that when I get back, Brian.
I must say that I find the constant worry and conjecture as counterproductive and tedious. When do we get to drive the cars? Remember those? Cars?
Seems like all we talk about are government loans and union lawsuits. Ughh.
The latest news are these: If Saab and Youngman won’t reach an agreement fast, the reorganisation can be cancelled even TODAY 🙁 I don’t know how to think anymore. Still having my fingers crossed though…
thankyou mr lofalk ! Well done !! Ggrrrrrr …!
Not over yet but i don’t like news like these… We need Steven when he will be back!!
That should read: latest RUMOURS. 😉 It’s not news untill it ‘s announced by the persons involved, untill that moment everything is speculation i.e. rumours.
Hope you are right 🙂 But still i hate news like these…
I hope you still have a job when you get back…..Bankrupty could be announced today
Nothing has been said about bankruptcy yet!
An article by Reuters says unless the Youngman short term bridge loan comes through shortly, the administrator could cancel the protective conditions.
Another article from justauto.com reports that sources are saying the approving body in the Chinese government is likely to reject the Chinese investment.
I hate news like these… 🙁 Hope things turns out good but right now i doubt it…
I am with you!
I was referring to the possibility of Lofalk pulling the plug. Looks like that threat has passed.

Hi Swade, have a much deserved holiday …. looking forward to seeing back in Trolland….
“98,402 people like Saab Cars” – well, that’s something.
Sometimes you have just got to “Look on the bright side of Life.”
Just a thought. (smile)
Swade, you’ve picked the wrong time to go on holiday! You need to be here to tell us what’s really going on…
Pang Da is calling out…. why??
