Money was apparently not the problem in the takeover of Saab by the small Dutch car company Spyker.
Spyker CEO Victor Muller told Dutch public radio today that the amount of money involved was not an issue. The problem was getting the Swedish company's owner General Motors to reverse its decision to run down the Saab brand.
He added that he does not regard the takeover of such a large company as an unacceptable risk and he hopes the shareholders will back him.
Mr Muller intends to make Saab profitable again by emphasizing its exclusive character. In recent years, he says, Saabs have begun to look too much like Opels.
