Seems that Saab just can’t catch a break. Yesterday, the Swedish automaker filed for government protection, citing that if approved, the company would undergo a voluntary reorganization. Now, a court has rejected Saab’s application for protection.

Saab plans to appeal the court’s decision. In a statement, the automaker said that it is “disappointed with the ruling.”
