Look at the good side. GM can't continue to screw up Saab.

BMW sold Rover ( an equally daft acquisition probably ) to outside
investors for £1 IIRC. Get some good people in there and you might have a
vibrant company again.

GM tried to turn Saab into something it wasn't. No wonder they failed. They
didn't understand the brand.

It will be to those in the US.
Saab Sweden might continue in some form, but Saab US is kippered by the
look of it.

Saab (globally) was part of GM US - until it was put up for sale in
February - a sale process which is apparently going very well indeed.

GM _can't_ "kill" Saab - they have no influence since putting them under
the aegis of the administrator a couple of months ago.

Setting up a new US distributor would have to happen anyway as part of
the sale.

Maybe they don't want yo kill Saab.
The value is set to 0 so I hope somebody will pay 1 swedish krone.
