Saab used to at least offer something different, like the 3 and 5 door bodystyles of the 900/9-3, and safety above all others. now safety is a major focus of all makes, especially luxury vehicles, and if you want a unique car, Audi and Volvo have more to offer than Saab. Audi offers buyers the A3 and TT, cars unlike anything else, and Volvo offers a hardtop convertible (C70) and the hottest looking hatchback on the road (C30). Saab has lost its way. it's no longer quirky and unique, and it's not mainstream either. so now, there's no warranty to sell on top of it all. GM should let Saab go to someone that gives a crap and focus on something else.

so true.

I hope there is a corresponding cut in MSRP of say $750-1,500.

prolly,to keep the price even and not increase like most other brands have already done.Gm needs to find away to offer different vehicles either diesel or hybrid with technology for Saab.New materials inside like the microfiber on the Caddy coupe concept would be nice in Saab's.They need a edge.

If the warranty is COSTING them MONEY then OBVIOUSLY Saab's are of DISMAL QUALITY

When is GM simply going to admit this is a worthless brand and sell it already?

It's painfully obvious they can't afford to properly manage it.

I guess it's a sign that GM is looking to sell Saab.

Saab isn't worthless.
GM just made it worthless.

Did they include Saab into the GM Card gag, or was that just Saturn that was added a few months back?

no saab is only included if you use one gm card, i believe the family and friends card.
