People who own a Saab are not only regular customers or vehicle owners. Saab drivers are special. They are enthusiasts and individualists. They are visionaries and makers.
And it takes people like this to convert an idea that was born in current struggling times into reality: The rescue of their beloved brand Saab and save its survival for the future.
Tobias Kaboth, Managing Director of the official Saab-Dealer mobilforum Dresden: “Rumors and negative news keep coming our way. Reports about the downfall of the traditional brand Saab are getting stronger. This causes customers to call all the time, they ask us about the latest news and to ensure us that no other car brand would serve as an alternative to them.” This is how the idea evolved to rescure Saab by buying it.
“During a night-time brain storming session we founded a club called “Rescue Saab e.V.” and designed its website www.rescue-saab.com, where the community will grow strong enough to have a voice. By paying a starting member fee between 50 and 500 Euros, each member will become a Saab stockholder once the company is bought. The more money is put in, the more stocks will get issued to the member.
“We are not going to sit tight and watch the fall of our beloved brand: We love Saab - We will rescue Saab!”, underlines Michael Hesse, Managing Director at the mobilforum Dresden the crazy sounding idea.
Everything is trustworthy, notarial certified and on a trust basis administered. Attorney Martin Adam (BSKP Dresden) and corporate consultant Mathias Oldenburg are giving the required legal background. In case the ideas fails and the collected money is not enough to buy Saab, every member will get his money back.
The initiators of “Rescue Saab” at mobilforum Dresden are well aware of the scope of their action and that it must sound crazy to people uninvolved. There is more necessary then founding a club and creating a website in order to buy a company like Saab.
However, first global response encourages the initiators to keep working.
A possible investor recognizes through the actions done by the club “Rescue Saab” a potential connected to the brand of Saab and how loyal the community of Saab-Drivers and –Friends are.
At best, the club “Rescue Saab e.V.” will support a potential investor with its collected money or by giving advice from loyal Saab-Clients.
Prominent Saab-Driver like Stefan Raab, Bastian Pastewka but also Bill Gates, Steven King and Jay Leno are contacted to support this campaign. „With the help of their promises and their name we will make it and Saab will survive!“, concluding Kapoth and Hesse optimistic.

ReplyDeleteI love my SAAB and there are no other brands that can compare. SAAB is a passion that way to many people do not understand.
ReplyDeleteMaybe time to do like an columnist in Automotive Week wrote a couple of years ago, regarding Saab owners; adopt the stance of being a "Saabinista" :-)
