Another Exotic-Car Suitor for Saab

First it was one-off exotic-car builder Koenigsegg Group. With that deal part of history, a new one-off exotic-car maker, Netherlands-based Spyker Cars NV, formally confirmed yesterday it is talking to General Motors Co. about acquiring GM's twisting-in-the-wind Saab Automobiles. Spyker is backed by its majority owner, Russia's Conversbank Financial Group, which owns 29.9 percent of Spyker, currently best known for its gullwing C8 Aileron sports car. Spyker reportedly has 132 employees and has sold less than 25 cars through the first half of this year. Saab currently employs about 4,500 and sold 93,000 vehicles last year.
