RIP, SAAB (or not? See update)

Despite my earlier hopes, it looks like SAAB is dead:

Auto enthusiasts across the country were dismayed by the news Friday that General Motors was planning to shut down Saab, the Swedish carmaker it bought two decades ago, after a deal to sell it fell apart.

Some of the technology has been sold to a Chinese company while various other companies are considering picking over the pieces.

Check Jalopnik for a list of the seven cars that killed Saab.

UPDATE: Dutch supercar maker Spyker makes another offer to GM in an effort to buy Saab.
