I was talking earlier this week with a prominent Saab person (a non-employee) about the situation Saab is in right now. He opined that there were two ‘Saab’ entities going around at the moment. One is the Saab that’s constantly the subject of automotive news reports, a company in desperate need of resources and constantly struggling to get to the

I’m not going to make it to the Saab Owners Convention in New Jersey this weekend.

It’s certainly not an easy time for people here. They are anxious, for sure, but they’re still here; that’s the most important thing. We remain in somewhat of
