In 2010 GM sold Saab Automobile AB to the Dutch automobile manufacturer Spyker Cars N.V. After struggling to avoid insolvency throughout 2011, the company petitioned for bankruptcy following the failure of a Chinese consortium to complete a purchase of the company; the purchase had been blocked by the former owner GM, which opposed the transfer of technology and production rights to a Chinese company.
En 2010 GM vendeu Saab Automobile AB ao fabricante neerlandés Spyker Cars N.V. Tras loitar contra a insolvencia ao longo do ano 2011, a compañía solicitou a bancarrota tras non saír adiante a compra da empresa por parte dun consorcio chinés; a adquisición foi bloqueada polo seu antigo propietario General Motors que se opuxo a tranferir a tecnoloxía e os dereitos de produción á compañía chinesa.
