\"\"<\/a>Don’t write off Saab<\/a> just yet. While last week’s announcement that Koenigsegg Automotive AB had pulled its offer<\/a> for the homeless brand was a painful kick to the gut, it seems there are still a few companies interested in taking the automaker under its wings. With that in mind, and interested in keeping the momentum, Saab CEO Jan Ake Jonsson and government officials from Sweden are meeting in Detroit today ahead of a Tuesday GM board meeting to determine Saab’s fate.<\/p>\n

As we’ve reported<\/a>, other bidders have expressed interest in Saab and the list appears to have grown. These companies include Beijing Automotive Industry Holding Corp., U.S. investment company Merbanco Inc., and the U.S. private equity firm Renco Group Inc. You may recall that it was Beijing Auto who had partnered with Koenigsegg in the latest deal that fell off the table. Said Beijing Auto’s general manager Wang Dazong, “stay tuned a little bit.” Yes, we all are. Patiently.<\/p>\n
