I like how they refer to Koenigsegg as a "luxury brand" in the article. More like totally awesome supercar brand.

"More like totally awesome supercar brand."

I read that aloud as totally super awesomecar brand.. and IMO it sounds better that way.

I think it is awesome that GM sold to a company that actually cares about performance and excitement in their cars and not some firm that will chop it up and sell out as soon as possible! Way to keep it in the hands of some car people GM!

I just heard this on msnbc. I'm SO happy.

Yeah there have been rumors about this since last week but now it's official. I for one LOVE it! I think Saab can really become a better car brand trough this purchase. Looking forward to a bright future!

Koenigsegg oughta make a super-sleeper. Like a 4-door lux sedan with a 700hp supercharged V8.

Emher · 06-16-2009, 07:16 PM

Oh yes I really want that....most of all I just want a RWD Saab coupe with a V8....
