Saab History Learns That Merbanco Group Was Not Chosen

Saab History has learned that one of the three speculated bidders for Saab Automobile, the Wyoming based Merbanco Group was unfortunately not chosen.
After recently developing a relationship with Christopher Johnston of Merbanco Group I have learned about his history with Saab, his passion for the car company, his own interests and how his approach would have been very well suited to take on Saab Automobile as a new owner.
While I am deeply disappointed that this route was not chosen or even considered, I have appreciated getting to know him and his honest interests in saving Saab Automobile.
Here’s a piece that Christopher Johnston provided Saab History tonight for us to reflect on:
“As most of you know, we ride with the brand, the fit was good, and were up to the challenges ahead. It is now time for us to depart the field and support the company and its outstanding people.
We are grateful to all of you, fellow Saab enthusiasts and the Saab team for the support you have us. It will never be forgotten. Heartfelt thanks, Ryan and friends for your support.”
