Jaguar and Land Rover are also viable international brands but like Saab, they are hemoraging money and their product lineup is old in the tooth (except for XF). Like Jag and L-R, it has been decades since Saab was truly profitable. Ford was wise to part ways with the English brands. Either move production to a 3rd world country, sell it or can it.
Sooner or later GM has to cut the Saab imbilical cord.
