A Saab ... or a Golf?


Posted at 12:01 am

General Motors unloaded Saab to a group led by a Swedish firm that makes $1 million supercars (Page A6).

Here's the deal with Koenigsegg Automotive AB: Many of the components in its supercars are sourced from Volkswagen. One assumes Saudi oil sheiks head for the fainting couch when they hear that.

With these guys in charge, expect Saab transmission rebuilds to cost $50,000 and use VW Golf parts.



A rising political star no more: Former Nirvana bassist Krist Novoselic won't be running for office down in tiny Wahkiakum County after all (Page A2).

Novoselic says his candidacy for county clerk was a protest against Washington state election laws, and he never intended to embark upon an exciting new career shuffling paperwork in Washington's least-populous county.

Here's an alternate scenario: Novoselic's handlers advised him to step aside because they figured opposition researchers would have a field day with the lyrics to "Floyd the Barber."
