Well, Saab is otherwise going into liquidation, so being bought by Bernie wouldn't be worse.

I think it all depends on how much the Swedish government will finance Saab's rescue.

Saab was losing >$300MM/yr in 2005-2008 and probably lost more in 2009. The marque has been killed over the past year, everyone knows Saab is on its last legs, people have stopped buying, sales have collapsed (I think they are selling like 2,000 cars a month in all of Europe now).

It says something really bad that not even the Chinese are interested in buying Saab.
