My wish is for any new owner be able to purchase 100% of Saab with their own money. No government loans. No minority shareholders. No outside proprietary technology. No restrictions on its freedom of action. […]

Troll96 commented on the post, Automotive News: Why is GM acting that way? 1 year, 7 months ago
From what I can tell, none of Saab’s 2011 financial weakness was caused by GM. The factory shutdowns, regulatory foot-dragging, and on again/off again financial agreements have all originated in Europe and China. […]
