Default GM to sell stake in Subaru (somewhat OT)

According to the www.nytimes.com this morning, GM is selling its stake in Subaru to Toyota, for roughly 1/2 the price of its original investment. I'm surprised the value has gone down given how well Subaru has been doing.
The article asks a good question: what does this mean for Saab? Is this the end of the Saabaru 9-2x? Would anyone really miss it?

Have coffee? Then discuss!

Default The value of GMs investment has nothing to do with Subaru

It's their parent company, Fuji Heavy Equiptment Corp., of which GM owns a percentage, that is to blame.
