I've always liked Saab's and Volvo's, maybe its the underdog in me. This was on autoblog.com today, I think this would be a fantastic situation for Saab: http://www.autoblog.com/2009/0...ments

Having no investment in either brand, this is a gamble I would love to see taken. Seems to me that from a philosophical standpoint there's not much better a match out there. http://********************/smile/emthup.gif |

If you mean the "born from jets" part then I might see a similar philosophy...but it's a stretch...

what's the asking price for Saab? Volvo is about $2billion. Why isnt Koenigsegg going for Volvo? Saab has only two models to offer? Wouldnt Volvo be a better deal? Quite a few ex-volvo engineers work at Koenigsegg and they used to (and might still do) used Volvo's wind tunnel for testing |

Absolutely Koenigsegg could be the silent Swedish saviour we are all waiting for? FOR VOLVO. Ford could partner with Koenigsegg and acquire the CCX, and the CCXR known as the Scandinavian miracle cars? Koenigsegg redesigns the 1800 (WHY)? His solar powered technology could easily become a Volvo.

I'm leaning to Geely as they would love to get a foothold into Europe. |

How long until a true Koenigsegg designed and engineered SAAB will hit the market (3 years)? This could be fantastic - just don't know if it will be financially successful. I'll certainly test drive one. |
