Saab deal struggles on

A last-minute attempt by Dutch niche carmaker Spyker to rescue a deal with GM over a proposed purchase of Saab is still on the table.

Last weekend Spyker sent in a revised plan to buy the Swedish brand, following GM's announced decision to close it down in an 'orderly' fashion.

Spyker had previously been in talks to buy Saab, but these were 'terminated' last week by GM.
