Spyker buys Saab – deal done?
Spyker boss Victor Muller seems to have concluded a deal with GM to buy Saab in a deal worth around $500 million. In what is probably the most public and drawn out sale of a car maker in history (we came to the conclusion that GM didn’t want to sell Saab) it would seem as […]
