Best Answer

Ford has never owned Saab. General Motors bought a 50% interest in Saab in 1989. In 2000 GM bough the company outright. In 2010 GM sold Saab to Spyker Motors. GM was to supply engines and technology to Saab. When Spyker tried to sell Saab to a Chinese company GM blocked the sale. Saab filed for bankrupcy in 2011. In 2012 Saab was sold to a Chinese consortium called National Electric Vehicle Sweden. As of May 2014 all production of Saab vehicles stopped. Production may begin again at a later date and it may not.
