Saab has not sold the volume
Saab has not sold the volume like other manufacturers and the last year's bumbling has locked that. But I've bought several, joking aside they've always been a solid car for me.
Looking at the economies of scale for auto manufacturing; GM should have solved this for Saab upon acquisition. Right? Unless propped up by subsidies and bailouts, economies of scale for a large companies may be a myth. Large organizations tend to be less nimble and responsive to customers. I believe the line was, "I want to work in a company large enough that nobody really knows what I do."
