Description: In what appears to be yet another twist in the ongoing Saab bankruptcy saga, BMW has emerged as one of the six or seven parties interested in buying out the troubled Swedish automaker. According to Sa...Add Comments11
Robert Murray BylMar 09, 2012 Right now I'm praying for any one to keep them alive :D!!!!
Christopher McSweenFeb 23, 2012 Proof is in the pudding. We r talking about a car co that has produced a car (3series) that all other car co have been trying to go after for years. If any auto co can bring Saab back its BMW.
Christopher McSweenFeb 23, 2012 No one could see the BMW & Mini thing either.
Paul LissonaFeb 23, 2012 Yah my 99 Saab 9-3 which Ig was when gm owned them was kinda problematic.
Kevin RehbockFeb 23, 2012 BMW's biggest challenge would be repairing Saab's public image. They were pretty much on life support under GM management. I still wish Koenigsegg could have saved them from bankruptcy.
Christopher McSweenFeb 23, 2012 Extremis, give ur opinion bro. Saab was a great car in the 90s. Once GM acquired it they went downhill. I have driven Saabs and work for BMW. Trust me you. Saab won't be the same. The initiative is reserection. If anyone can do it is BMW.
Christopher McSweenFeb 23, 2012 Logan, we see eye 2 eye. BMW cust look @ Audis. I bel w/ Saab they will have more 2 consider. Lets not forget Saab Vigeon line!
Zachary SindelarFeb 23, 2012 This could be awesome! I hope there cheaper than the BMWs
Christopher McSweenFeb 23, 2012 If BMW buys Saab we will begin to see some sick looking & powerful Saabs. A while ago I mentioned that I could see Volvo & Saab. However, I trust BMW will be a better fit.
Kevin IrishFeb 24, 2012 "Saab. Born from jets." Ring a bell anyone?
Christopher McSweenFeb 23, 2012 Just wait till BMW put their spin on things!
Robby BradfordFeb 23, 2012 @Micah Saab also built planes so it's not too far out of the question that they had that in mind when building this. I know that some of their models were directly influenced by their planes, and this probably is one of them
Micah BuffatFeb 23, 2012 It looks like a fuselage of a air plane
Nick88gmFeb 23, 2012 I see a small block swap in its future
Aaron SnyderFeb 23, 2012 That is a unique looking car! Very cool!

Dan RatherFeb 23, 2012 They kinda already did FWD with the mini cooper.
Matthew PaulFeb 23, 2012 Well they are already making a fwd 1 series in a couple months
David Holder-DefratesFeb 23, 2012 No BMW. Please do not ever make a FWD car.
Mercedes gave up and made FWD... Not you as well!!!

Steven SchottFeb 23, 2012 Gorgeous car. I LOVE SAAB.
Robby BradfordFeb 23, 2012 No. This is 100% Saab, at least this model haha the saabaru project
Jason DannheimFeb 23, 2012 There was that '04 Saab wagon that was a badge engineered Impreza wagon, but I don't see Subaru anywhere on the inside or the outside of this car.
Nick StiFeb 23, 2012 I agree as well. Aren't these luxurious Imprezas?
Logan LeMonnierFeb 23, 2012 One of the most underrated cars ever made. Gorgeous.
Christopher McSweenFeb 23, 2012 Those folks are praying BMW makes the purchase. I can only speak for myself. I have been there and it's not easy. I hope BMW buys. It would be a win win in my book. I bet those same folks would elated to churn out those new Saabs by BMW.
Quinn ConnerFeb 23, 2012 @vince. Sure people at Saab would lose jobs, but that just means that other companies will hire more people. It's not like Saab customers would stop buying cars. Lol. Saab customers will take business elsewhere creating more work for others.
Michael GallagherFeb 23, 2012 I have never been a big Saab fan. Hardly hear about then, they don't really stand out at all. Nothing distinguishes them from another car.
Not a fan. But, in sure BMW could change that and make them a worthy company
Vince DeMasiFeb 23, 2012 Those people are the only reason I hope Saab doesn't go under we don't need more people losing jobs no matter where they are from
Micah BuffatFeb 23, 2012 I hope Saab can bounce back with this I think Saab is one of the best they just can't sell there cars
Logan LeMonnierFeb 23, 2012 They have the style down already
Joel HayesFeb 23, 2012 @wmg I agree on that. BMW could make Saab great!
wmgFeb 23, 2012 I really hope BMW gets it. BMW can turn Saab around.
Christopher McSweenFeb 23, 2012 If BMW gets a hold of this 9-5 it will be nicer.
Aaron SnyderFeb 23, 2012 Not a fan of saab, but I do think they could be brought back. I believe BMW would do great work with them. MINI is a good example of what BMW can do with a unique brand.
Carlos Ernesto GarciaFeb 23, 2012 I sat in a $45,000 saab at the miami car show and i did not like the interior at all
Matt PiccoloFeb 23, 2012 I don't like it at all, but I've never been a Saab fan
Right now I'm praying for any one to keep them alive :D!!!!

I hope this happens.
I would love to see this!
