Car and Driver article on Koenigsegg and Saab merger

The Not-so-Small Koenigsegg Group AB Puts Saab Back in Swedish Hands - Car News - Car and Driver

It sounds a lot like something von Koenigsegg told SVT in his lone TV interview. “This [Saab] is neither a luxury nor a people’s car, but it has its own niche—a bit of postmodern comfort, sporty but with environmental thinking,” he said. “We want to capture the Swedish aspect, too. GM had a bit more of an international approach, and Saab drowned a little bit in that context.”

This whole business makes me nervous w.r.t Koenigsegg's fortunes. Let's hope Saab doesn't drag them down.
