They are gone for good now. The China deal fell through because GM would not let go of some technical stuff.

But the stuff the China company wanted was the rights to build the current SAAB line and GM owns the rights to these designs. Apparently GM did not want to see the line moved to China and then three years from now going up against cars they tried to sell here but could not now selling for 50% of what GM was asking.

More interesting news: My insurance guy says coverage will now skyrocket on these cars since they now have no dealer network in the US. He said the last time a car line died here that he knew about was the Stirling, which was made by Rover. Insurance tripled the day they shut down their last dealer.
