A Chinese Saab 9-5?
BAIC rumoured fighting hard for the rights
A Saab 9-5 clone could be on the roads within the next year, if the Beijing Automotive Industry Corporation (BAIC) goes ahead and buys all the tooling and design rights to the outgoing 9-5.
Reports say the plan is in its final stages of execution, but nothing is being said about whether production would resume under the BAIC badge or not.
Saab recently unveiled its latest 9-5 range-topper which is produced at its Trollhatten factory in Sweden. The BAIC deal would mean the Chinese company could conceivably resurrect the old 9-5, and then sell it while the new 9-5 (as it were) is also on the market.
BAIC is a minority shareholder in Koenigsegg, which is buying Saab over from General Motors. The agreement exists, but the contract is not yet final.
