No. I paid cash for all my cars and boats.

OP quoted from Bloomberg. You and I live in the US. 210hp is it for a 9-3. Why should you even care about other markets? If we were in Europe, the new BMW engine would be irrelevant since it wasn't diesel. Even so, 222hp is less than 237hp.

Unlikely as it requires continuing with GM as a supplier. Currently 2.8L is used in Opel/Vauxhall Insignia (Buick Regal).

More likely BMW and VAG will compete to supply Spyker with engines. Audi is incumbent supplier to Spyker.

Then again I don't see Saab surviving another 10 years without major product changes.
