GM Inside News Forum - View Single Post - GM Exec: No Plans To Pull Saab Out Of North American Market; Line Is Profitable In US

I just can't see Saab being profitable in the US. If so, they should try and sell them since Hummer is garnering any takers. Saying Saab is profitable, he is probably leaving out a lot of hidden costs such as R&D, dealership reorganization, Saab's share of the corporate marketing, etc. Selling Saab would allow GM to offload some very expensive and inefficient production/R&D facilities in Sweden and a bunch of dealerships. However, the execs probably don't want to because they don't want to part with all of those blond hotties!
