Spyker, which was already a loss-making supercar manufacturer, bought Saab, which itself is now making bigger losses under Spyker ownership. What is the opposite of a win/win situation?

But there's also the saying of throwing good money after bad. Saab cars might be good, but it looks like their finances aren't.

The story of the British manufacturing industry."" That was more a case of turning a win / win situation into a lose / lose situation. Everyone had a hand in it - the trade unions, compacent managements, the Thatcher government, young middle-class housewives who spearheaded the popularity of BMWs in this country in the 1970's.....................
Hmm. Don't remember Red Robbo as a Thatcherite. The demise of the British motor industry in the seventies was down to complacency and a superiority complex. The japanese did for us and the Americans. Nobody to blame but ourselves. The writing was on the wall when the Japanese made motorcycles that didn't break down and leak oil all over your garage floor. Sad but true.
