Saab struggles with bills – Vladimir says it’s all fine

The Saab production line grinds to a halt as components run out I think we all hoped that after the long, painful transition from GM ownership in to new hands at Spyker that things would settle down and Saab would get back to making cars instead of headlines.

The heavier Neunelfer is a closer power/weight match to the F-Type.
