This was disclosed by Spyker CEO Victor Muller.</p>
<p>Muller disclosed the plan of signing up the dealerships of Saab during an interview at the headquarters of Saab in Sweden.</p>
<p>Spyker wants to boost their network to 60 stores this year from the 35 that it has at the moment. The build up should hit 90 outlets by the end of 2011 as the Saab brand will pus for the other models like the C8 Aileron that can zoom to 300 kilometers an hour and with a sticker pirce of $214, 990 in the United States.</p>
<p>Saab was able to buy Saab from General Motors after a long stretch effort of the latter to unload the brand. Spyker was able to sell 36 cars in 2009 and the new dealerships will help it bounce back to profitability.</p>
<p>The supercar brand also benefited from the other generic parts like the windshield wipers which it gets from the higher volume Saab orders. Muller also added that it will tap the engineering resources of Saab.</p>
<p>The Spyker CEO is very pleased how the company also benefits from the company it saved.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-32" title="saab logo" src="http://www.saab-cars.org/wp-content/uploads/2009/04/saab_logo-270x269.jpg" alt="saab logo" width="270" height="269" />Spyker recently inked the deal that ends the sale saga of Saab. The carmaker was on financial rocky grounds and needed some saving. The Dutch producer of supercars has officially announced its ownership of Saab.</p>
<p>Saab will operate under the helm of its new mother company the Spyker Cars N.V. The sale marks an exciting time, though sorry to the brand which now belongs to a list of failed auto badges, as Spyker might have some positive influence to the iconic Saab brand.</p>
<p>The top executive of Saab sees the deal as beneficial for customers, dealers, suppliers, and employees of the company. The car manufacturer is now looking ahead to what the next step will be for their brand. The earliest move will be the roll out of the 9-5 sedan which is expected to hit dealerships on the latter part of 2010.</p>
<p>The government of Sweden, Spyker Cars, and General Motors explored all possibilities and potentials of the deal to make it sustainable for Saab. The transfer of the operations of Saab might take about a month complete but the completion of the deal will promote a good mood to create new products for Saab.</p>
<p><span id="more-58"></span>Spyker is a small company that makes only a handful of units every year but the persistence of their team showed its commitment to <a href="http://www.saab-cars.org/">the Saab brand</a> for the long-term.</p>
<p>The sales process started last summer when <a href="http://www.gmautoblog.com/2009/01/17/gm-launches-invest-in-america-nationally/">GM</a> had to declare bankruptcy. Saab attracted bidders but only Koenigssegg came close to inking one only to back out because of funding problems. Spyker came up with the money and somehow gives another life to Saab.</p>
