I'm afraid Saab is much like Jaguar. It doesn't matter who owns it, American, European, Asian, it's going to be screwed. And it won't matter if they make "decent" cars. Unless they make something that's going to blow away the competition, they're still ruined. And seeing how those companies always seem to be on the brink of bankruptcy, no one's really going to pour money into them. If they do, there's never a guarantee. Just look at BMW with Rover and Land Rover. They really did build good cars under BMW, but it was never enough. Now it's Tata's turn with Jaguar. It's going to crash and burn.
