Eeyore gurgled happily, sounding much like they were saying:
If K weren't, then they wouldn't have got this far. They're the front-men for other investors.
Renco are basically a mineral extraction business with an abysmal reputation for environmental vandalism.
Oh, and Fiat aren't in the last three.
Nobody seems clear on who the third bidder is, the one who fell out of the running earlier but has come back with an improved offer.

They are as of today, one of the remaining two possible buyers...
ooooooooooh, does that mean we might see a V8 Saab in the end after all.
Maybe they could do the Triumph Stag style thing and bolt a pair of B235s together ?

Maybe, you never know. Sweden's own 4.6 litre 400 horses Hemi V8 with Turbos would be cool.
Elder gurgled happily, sounding much like they were saying:
Y'mean the Jag lump in the big Volvos...?
Anyway, let's not forget they already build and sell a new Saab with a
6.0 400bhp v8.Then there's this.

It's actually a Yamaha engine in the Volvo's. ;o))
Yeah but it wouldn't be as good as a Saab designed one running a brace of turbos built by Koenigsegg though would it.
Just seen what they put it in. Not pretty at all.
With Saab loosing 200mSEK each Month, they could move the production of Koenigsegg to Saab factories to be able produce enough to support the Saab operations.
In 2007 Koenigsegg had problems paying their bills. How many eggs will the brake to get Saab?
