I'm really sad Saab had to file for bankrupcy, especially because they already had investors in order to head to the future away from GM, but the American group had to spoil everything. It was a dirty position that might affect the popularity of the group and its cars. In fact the day after GM opposed to Saab's selling t the chinese capitals there was an invasion of their facebook pages.

 

Take a look

saw today,s newspaper saab 95 vector selling at $189k. A drastic price drop for a car that is hovering in the $200k-$220k range. Nice looking car.

 

Any reviews on this car as there seems to be little comments online... perhaps not many driving one out there.

Quote

"Stockholm — The company that lifted Swedish automaker Saab out of bankruptcy is now facing financial difficulties of its own.

On Tuesday a supplier petitioned a Swedish court to declare National Electric Vehicle of Sweden (Nevs) bankrupt.

Labo Test, which supplies test equipment for car parts, said Nevs had failed to pay bills of 150,000 kronor ($22,000) since February.

Nevs spokesman Mikael Ostlund didn’t immediately answer a request for comment.

The company, owned by a Hong Kong-based group, bought Saab out of bankruptcy last year after a failed attempt to revive the brand by Spyker Cars of the Netherlands.

Though its plan was to make electric cars, Nevs started off with gasoline-fueled models to get production going immediately."

For those who want to hook a japanese wife.

 

First u need salary above 38,000 USD p.a.  [laugh]

I'm actually quite surprised given the cost of living in tokyo etc, that only 15% of their males earn that amount. Considering they don't have NS.

Fewer Japanese seek marriage amid worries over income: poll
The proportion of Japanese men in their 20s who want to marry has slumped, with many citing their income not meeting women's expectations as a reason not to tie the knot, think tank research showed.

TOKYO: The proportion of Japanese men in their 20s who want to marry has slumped, with many citing their income not meeting women's expectations as a reason not to tie the knot, think tank research showed.

With a dip in the rate for women as well and it still being relatively rare for children to be born out of wedlock in Japan, the figures point to a potential obstacle for Prime Minister Shinzo Abe's key policy of boosting the nation's low birth rate.

The survey showed 38.7 percent of single Japanese men in their 20s who were polled said they wanted to marry as soon as possible or wanted to marry eventually, down from 67.1 percent three years ago.

"More than half of single women want their spouses to earn at least 4 million yen (US$38,000) a year. Meanwhile, only 15.2 percent of single men in their 20s earn 4 million yen or more," the report for a Meiji Yasuda Life Insurance affiliate said.

"This gap seems to be one of the reasons for more people not marrying at all or marrying late."

The data comes as Abe campaigns for an election for the upper house on July 10, playing up his economic policy and promising steps to raise the fertility rate.

Abe's government wants to raise the birth rate to 1.8 per woman from 1.4, which is still below 2.1 - the rate needed to prevent a population from shrinking.

For single women in their 20s, the rate fell to 59 percent from 82.2 percent over the same period, the survey said.

The rates of single Japanese men and women in their 30s who want to marry also fell by more than 10 percentage points to 40.3 percent and 45.7 percent, respectively, the data showed.

Japan's population is projected to fall around a third to 87 million in 2060, the National Institute of Population and Social Security Research says.

The pension system is creaking under the growing number of elderly and the low birth rate, as a smaller working population need to shoulder a growing number of retirees.

While some economists have applauded Abe for putting birth rates on the agenda, others warn the government has fallen so far behind on the population issue that it will be difficult to raise economic growth without opening up to large-scale immigration.

It not a regret but show your true character. Faithful and loyal.

 

Not many can do the same. Instead many use the wrong head to decide. While others have guns will travel.
