Saab Motors, which originated in Sweden and was gradually acquired by General Motors in 1999 and 2000, performed poorly overall. Although General Motors has mass-produced a luxury car brand that emphasizes individuality and safety, and proposed a higher sales target, Saab's sales are unable to continue to make profits, but most of the years are at a loss.
When the financial crisis was most severe in 2009 and the mature automobile market was severely shrinking, General Motors, which was in danger of bankruptcy, sold Saab vehicles and eventually sold them to the Dutch sports car company Spyker in February 2010.
