Malabo na din, Spyker is just a small company too. How long can they sustain a bleeding Saab?

I saw a Saab in Batangas City during the mid-80s. It had the quirky rounded body type. Probably a Saab 96.

SAAB is not really a hot ticket item. Being an unpopular brand equated to low sales turnout. It's just a matter of time before GM decides to dump SAAB... now is that time. I just hope it's not going to be a museum piece.

Update! May nakita ako sa isang site that for the saab-ers, pag sinarado ng GM yung Saab brand, they won't buy a GM-related brand forever.

Proof?

While not large in absolute numbers, Saab followers are a truly feisty bunch that will do anything to see their beloved brand surviving to see another day. And even though some may not always agree with their positions, if anything else, they do deserve our respect for their tireless efforts to save Saab.

Today we discovered that Steve Wade, a fellow Aussie from Tasmania that runs the Saabsunited enthusiasts' website, has launched a new campaign to put some pressure on General Motors to sell the brand at any cost by keeping the Detroit automaker on the media spotlight.

The site is called "I won't buy from GM" and according to Steve, the purpose of the campaign is "for people to declare to GM that if Saab is closed down, rather than sold, then those people signed up will not consider the purchase of another GM vehicle in the future."

Steve rightfully -in our opinion- notes that, while GM couldn't care less about a few thousand Saab fanatics not buying its cars, the Detroit automaker may be concerned about the media backlash if the word spreads around.

Whether or not this move will actually have any effect on GM's decision, is another story.

Since the site was launched on Christmas eve, more than 2,130 people have answered to the call.
