One of the largest Saab dealer stops selling just Saab. It's about Holmgren's car that has its head office in Jönköping. The decision was taken today after the company sold the Saab for 20 years - the last few years at seven locations around the province of Småland.
They claim themselves that it was on the top-five list in the world of Saab's best retailers.
The background to today's decision is that Holmgren can not represent the marque with pride long after that Saab once again failed in their obligations to customers, retailers and suppliers.
CEO Benny Holmgren is also strarkt critical that management has taken out big bonuses while the workers did not receive a salary.
Saab've for a long time had major financial problems and a stationary factory, where you could not pay bills or deliver any cars, and Holmgren's owner, Benny Holmgren, are very disappointed in the Swedish car manufacturer today.
Holmgren, however, will continue serving Saab cars.
As we reported earlier, it is clear with two new brands for Holmgren to sell - BMW and Mini.
Footnote: The Småland places where it sold the Saab to date: Jonkoping, Nässjö, Vetlanda, Vimmerby, Västervik, Värnamo and Gislaved.
