Όπως είναι γνωστό η εξαγορά από την koenigsegg ναυάγησε στο παρα 5 πριν λίγες βδομάδες, μετά ήρθε η ολλανδική Spyker και ήθελε να αγοράσει τη saab. Η GM αρνήθηκε και έτσι αποφασίστηκε να κλείσει η μάρκα. Σήμερα όμως η Spyker έρχεται με νέα πρόταση (ικανοποιώντας όλα τα αιτήματα για τα οποια αρνήθηκε την προηγουμενη προσφορά η GM) και μάλιστα την ανακοίνωσε στο κοινό ώστε να μπορέσει να στριμώξει περισσότερο την GM αφού σίγουρα νοιάζεται για την εικόνα που περνάει προς τα έξω. Ας ελπίσουμε ότι αυτή τη φορα κάτι μπορεί να γίνει... εγώ κρατάω ακόμα τις ελπίδες μου!
παρακάτω το γράμμα της Spyker:
(δεν μπορώ να το μεταφράσω αλλα νομίζω όλοι μπορούν να διαβάσουν αγγλικά)
"We have made every effort to resolve the issues that were preventing the conclusion of this matter and we have asked GM and all other involved parties to seriously consider this offer," said Muller.
"We are very confident that our renewed offer will remove the impasse that was standing in the way of an agreement on Friday, and this would still allow us to conclude the deal prior to the expiry of the deadline originally set by GM of December 31st", said Muller.
"Despite our collective eleventh hour set-back, we are returning to the table with a renewed offer, that addresses every known issue brought to light during the initial negotiations and that has the full backing of the Saab Management. The new offer eliminates the need for an EIB loan approval prior to year end, for example, which will allow the deal to be concluded within GM's deadline.
Our efforts are based on our passion for saving an iconic brand that we would be honoured to shepherd, and the jobs and livelihoods of thousands of loyal Saab employees, suppliers and dealers around the world. Some 1,500,000 Saabs are on the road today and their proud owners would no doubt welcome the survival of this phenomenal brand", he added.
In Spyker's view, the ownership of Saab by Spyker Cars would add a lot of value to both parties. For Spyker, Saab would bring a strong, global distribution network consisting of no less than 1100 dealers, state-of-the-art production facilities, a truly dedicated work force and solid engineering, sourcing and research & development capabilities. Likewise, Saab would receive the financial backing required to compete as a competitive global brand, along with an entrepreneurial leadership team sensitive to the uniqueness, heritage and individuality of the Saab brand. Throughout these negotiations, both Spyker and Saab leadership have proven that they share a mutual vision for just such a partnership.
"Our company motto is nulla tenaci invia est via - for the tenacious no road is impassable," said Muller, "And we intend to remain true to that throughout these negotiations as we bid to secure Saab's future and revive the company."

Το ευρωπαϊκό ταξίδι και όνειρο χιλιάδων φτάνει στο τέλος του, όχι με την καλύτερη κατάληξη, μάλλον μας έχει αφήσει με μια γλυκόπικρη γεύση αλλα ας μην είμαστε αχάριστοι, σημασία έχει το ταξίδι και όχι ο προορισμός.
