Cash-strapped Saab finds sympathy in wealthy Pebble Beach



As dark as things are looking for Saab, the automaker's team was right in the thick of things yesterday at its tent at the Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance.

A few of the thousands of car fanciers passing by stopped to check out some of the recent Saab models in display, like the 9-5 sedan and 9-4X SUV. Saab shared the booth with Spyker, the high-end sports car maker that acquired Saab when the brand was jettisoned by General Motors as part of its bankruptcy proceeding two years ago.

Those trying out the cars say they will miss Saab is the brand goes under.

"I think there is an element of creation and emotion" to Saab, said Marc Wendorf of San Francisco. "Who doesn't like the cheer for the little guy?"
