@GAMEVIDSnorwegian422 Saab didn't leave GM, GM got rid of Saab because it wasn't doing very well, while at the same time leaving Saab extremely dependent on them cause Saab leased all it's patents and got all it's parts from GM. That is also why Saab had a hard time finding a buyer before it went bankrupt, GM was able to block deals that they didn't like (like, Saab going to the Chinese) and it ended up going for peanuts to a Spyker which was on the verge of bankruptcy themselves.
