This morning, General Motors (GMGMQ) -- or is it Government Motors? -- announced that it will sell its Saab unit to a consortium led by Koenigsegg Automotive AB. The purchaser is a luxury carmaker, which produces roughly 12 custom-made models each year. In a memo of understanding, GM stated that the sale will include a $600 million funding commitment from the European Investment Bank -- which is guaranteed by the Swedish government. The sale is believed to be completed by the end of the third quarter.
