which will evidently mean that all these car orders that have excited the Saab community may well shrink down to a much smaller number of cars actually based on Saab technology and built in Trollhättan. Very bad news, imho 🙁

No I don’t think so, this factory will only produce mini vans and small trucks for the chinese market and will only add additional car models. The order for 150(250) and 20 k cars remains and it was agreed that the 20 k should also contain small trucks in the future.
