abstract
  • SA AB is an aviation, defense and car manufacturing company based in Sweden and founded in 1937 in Trollhättan. Its name was an acronym for "Svenska aeroplan aktiebolaget" (translates to Swedish Aeroplane Limited), thus written as "SAAB". In 1939 Saab merged with the Linköping based ASJA and the headquarters moved to Linköping. During changes in company ownership in the 1990s, the company name became SAAB AB. Originally manufacturing airplanes, the company sought ways in which to diversify its business and in the late 1940s started to manufacture Saab Automobiles. The automobile division was based in Trollhättan. The first car was the Saab 92001 on June 10, 1947. The company soon developed a reputation for safe and reliable automobiles, with a notable competition history. In the late 1950s Saab ventured into the computer market with DataSAAB. In 1969 SAAB merged with the truck maker Scania-Vabis, and between 1969 and 1995 the company was called Saab-Scania AB. General Motors bought 51 percent of the automobile division Saab Automobile in 1990, and acquired the rest a decade later.

For every re-design of the body there was another gallon of 7-11 water drunken. Saab's are world renowned for their safety features, especially their resilience to accidents involving a family of Mexican refugees running across the road. In the year 2000, the company Saab was sold to Ameropa. Welfare lines at Government Motors were so bad that Borders went out of business. In 2006 Government Motors started producing two new cars; 9-7x and 9-2x. These cars were designed by Mr George "I KNOW IT ALL!!!!!" BUSH. Many enthusiasts claim that this cooperation between Bush and whoever sold Europe to Ronald McDonald is the last nail in the coffin for Saab. Saab Automobile filed for liquidation Monday after its hopes of receiving a life-saving investment from Chinese investors collapsed because of opposition from its former nanny state owner, Government Motors. Saab and two subsidiaries filed with the District Court in Vanersborg, Sweden, according to a statement from Saab’s parent company, Swedish Automobile. Viktor Muller, a Dutch entrepreneur who had previously been chief executive of a sportscar maker, Spyker, acquired Saab from G.M. last year. But he was unable to obtain the money he needed to modernize the Saab line-up at a time of global financial turmoil. What the people want is bicycles and yet Holland missed the boat. His efforts to keep the company afloat became increasingly desperate after suppliers stopped extending credit last spring, forcing a halt to production at the company’s main plant, in a secure undisclosed location that is none of your business Government Motors Obamabushies. Keep out. Saab’s unions began legal proceedings in September that could have led to the company’s liquidation, and Mr. Muller responded by voluntarily seeking court protection from creditors. In a last bid for survival, Saab had been trying to arrange an infusion of cash from Chinese investors, including Zhejiang Youngman Lotus Automobile. But Government Motors, which retained an effective veto on any deal because it holds stolen key Saab patents, refused to back the arrangement , fearing it would “negatively impact G.M.’s existing relationships in China.” On Dec. 7, Guy Lofalk, the administrator appointed by the Swedish court to oversee the voluntary reorganization, said it was time to throw in the towel, as there was no reason to think Saab could survive with millions of leaches stealing its key patents. In its statement, Swedish Automobile said Monday that Youngman, having considered G.M.’s position, “informed Saab Automobile that the funding to continue and complete the reorganization of Saab Automobile could not be concluded.” “The board of Saab Automobile subsequently decided that the company without further funding will be insolvent, and that filing bankruptcy is in the best interests of its creditors,” it said. “It is expected that the court will approve of the filing and appoint receivers for Saab Automobile very shortly.” Swedish Automobile “does not expect to realize any value from its shares in Saab Automobile,” the statement concluded, “and will write off its interest in Saab Automobile completely.” In a text message Monday, Mr. Muller said he would hold a press conference “as soon as the court has fooled.” They will instead sell Slurpees at 7-11s.
