Saab Fanboy Lawyers Are Funny

Three billion dollars?  Three billion dollars!  That's fucking crazy.  I mean, GM sucks in so many varied and wonderful ways.  Look at the new Camaro or any of those hilariously ugly Guido Cadillacs or the absence of Pontiac and you know that GM is a shitty, stupid company.  But what the fuck do they think they're gonna get by suing them?  Saab died cuz nobody bought enough of 'em, and nothing GM did or didn't do was gonna change that in any significant way--mostly because GM both didn't understand Saab and Saab quality AND didn't want Saab to dismantle their shitty Cadillac and Buick brands with well-made, interesting and proper-handling European road cars.  So, GM let Saab die because they were both stupid and afraid.  Unfortunately, that's not exactly rare in the glorious business world; Saab suffered and died, while GM is and will always be both extant and kinda crappy.
