Als je het artikel leest blijkt dat het allerminst besloten is om het nieuwe model onder de 9-3 in Trollhättan te bouwen!
"General Motors bilfabriker däribland Saab i Trollhättan ska tävla om vilken fabrik som ska få tillverka de framtida bilmodellerna."
Letterlijk:
GM's automobielfabrieken, daaronder Saab in Trollhättan, gaan strijden om welke fabriek de toekomstige modellen gaat bouwen.
De onderhandelingen tussen GM, de fabriek in Trollhättan en de vakbond(en) zijn gaande.....

Je hebt gelijk GJ 9000, hier in engels :
Important news in via email and also published in The Local (Swedish news in English, phew!).
The Trollhattan assembly plant is lobbying hard to secure production of the new sub-9-3 model compact Saab, scheduled for production in a few years time. As was the case with the next generation of 9-3 and 9-5, there's competition from other GM factories in Europe.
Jan-Ake Jonsson is making a lot of sense here. Let's just hope that GM Europe are listening, especially with this first bit:
"We have said that Saab needs a large operation in Sweden to be credible as a Swedish brand," said Jonsson.
The transition from today's production to building a smaller Saab at the Trollhättan facility will require investment, but Jonsson was unwilling to predict how big that would be:
"Exactly how much is required to phase out today's 9-3 and 9-5, and for a new compact platform product, we don't know. But they are different products so of course investment will be needed."
GM should have taken the cue from the 9-7x and 9-2x experiments and the initial reactions to the 9-3 and 9-5 relocations. Despite Saab's limited brand identity in some markets, it IS identified as a Swedish brand and GM will take a hammering if they have no Saabs produced there at all.
Yes, other factories could build this car, but so could Trollhattan and it's so important to maintain a genuine Swedish presence in at least part of the model range.
Here's hoping wise heads prevail. Go Jan-Ake!!
