So what's new since the bankruptcy? It seems like business as usual and they still can't do anything right. Wait, I'll take that back, they do build some pretty good cars. But they sure don't appear to be able to run a business.
In GM's defense who would want to buy Saab ? They've always been on the verge of going under before GM bought them - that's why they went to rebadging Subaru's and other GM products as Saabs -
