Spyker<\/a>‘s association with ex-company chairman Vladimir Antonov is what almost kept the Saab deal from happening<\/a>. But after a high-profile bid to clear his name<\/a> (still waiting on the report, Mr. A) and the scent of euros on the table, you didn’t really think Antonov was just going to walk away, did you?<\/p>\n

The Russian said in an interview last week that Saab<\/a> was looking to build a production plant in Russia and will sign a memorandum of understanding to that effect “within a month.” Another report has put potential production of such a facility at 10,000 cars per year.<\/p>\n

Spyker CEO Victor Muller has had nothing to say on the statement. Naturally, we have no idea if Saab is looking for a Russian plant, but we’d be shocked (not for the first time, we admit) to find it were doing so “within a month.” We’d have a much easier time believing that Spyker wants to get the new 9-5 and 9-5 SportCombi selling briskly and a better 9-3 on the way before it makes huge increases in production capacity in Russia. But that’s just us…<\/p>\n
