Well, the European first half sales figures are out, and they aren't good for Saab:
39,418 units, down 13.0%.
Add that to the American first half sales of only 12,068 (down 29.0%), and you get 51,486 units. Double that, and you get 103k-ish. So, Saab would have to sell 32k vehicles in the rest of the world to break even. Not going to happen; I doubt they sell more than 5-10k yearly in the rest of the world outside the US and Europe.
