Spyker is based in the Netherlands, so it's going to the Dutch. Not the Danes. But since they're almost right next to each other, does it make a difference?

This could be a good thing. But one has to wonder if a company that's only built less than 300 cars since 2000 can really manage a global manufacturer like Saab. Plus, what do they do after the next 9-5? Can they provide ANY new products in the coming years?

I agree with this. It could be a good thing... but I'll reserve any happy-type celebration for AFTER they prove they can make it work.

They can make a WRX STi wagon style saabaru!!!! 2.5L w/ 6spd!! And then it for real cheap like the 9-2X and then I can jump on it this time!!!

sorry Saab fans. I guess you should have bought more of their odd, overpriced cars.
