Aero Hot tis was a quickie!
Gm owned most of the finance on SAAB and sweden bought it back with another company fronting the buy out so Sweden actually paid nothing for the company that GM spent millions on, but the sad fact is the loan agreements between sweden and the new owners have come to ahead i.e Sweden are just as BROKE due to icelandic banks cock ups!

This was back in jan this year read it explains alot!
