I guess thats what happens when you produce mediocre cars for the best part of 20 years.

It's a shame because they were quirky and different, but they became very boring.

I think the Vauxhall years did them no favours. After all the Cavalier and Vectra were hardly ground breaking platforms. :scared:

As far as I know they have been going under for ages.  It was a bad move from spyker to buy them.  My misses runs the parts dept for saab, Chrysler, dodge and something else and she hasn't been able to order any saab spare parts except for emergencies for months.  Luckily some of the parts are gm so can be ordered through vauxhaul.
