Sorry, this might only get a smile out of other owners of the quirky Swedish import. Nothing about Saabs is ever normal. There is always some little thing slightly out of whack, like having financing issues so opaque that you run out of cars while waiting for the EC to approve your $600m. loan.

Also still no word on which 81 of its 218 dealerships the make plans to close, or if any will be in the Carolinas. No matter. If it were easy, it would not be Saab.
