Here is the first e-mail Saab History received from Koenigsegg, indicating that they have no interest in taking over Saab.
Here’s hoping they eat these words in the coming days with a press conference.
What’s the chance?

Thank you for your email, which is very interesting indeed!
No, we do not have any plans to take over Saab. Even if we had the financial capabilities to do so, it would not make any business sense what so ever. I
would be grateful if you could tell me where you got this information from?I am very curious.. Thank you.
Take care and regards,
Andreas

Even if they were going to buy, they cannot release the actual news until the appropriate, last minute, because of stock manipulation and insider trading.

They’re not going to tell you anything.
Apple does this all day long – deny until official press release.
This has PR written all over it – and rather cheeky I’d say. “I
would be grateful if you could tell me where you got this information from?”
Are they kidding? It’s all anyone is talking about and surely they’ve had phones ringing off the hook with requests for commentary or interviews.
