Saab Is Dead, Let Us All Weep At Ikea
By Chad Waite | December 19, 2011
It’s official- Saab has filed for bankruptcy. The outcome for the car maker from Schveeden was about as sad as it was foreseeable, marking the end of a two year struggle after having their family ties to GM severed. Saab CEO Victor Muller officially turned over the bankruptcy application this morning to the Swedish court district after numerous failed attempts to find a buyer.
We feel the best way to send off the now defunct auto maker is to remember some of their better days while shopping at Ikea. Anyone up for reminiscing about the 9-3 Aero over meatballs and balsa wood furniture?

Um this is wrong! Who wrote this? Saab has a buyer but could not reach an agreement with the money hungry power controlling greedy filthy peolpe of grinch motors as far as letting the chinese buy there crappy license technology. Saab is not dead yet. Gm filed bankruptcy too and if it wasnt for the government they wouldnt be here.
