Is a Saab for you?

January 30, 2009

If you’re after the epitome of refined driving, whatever that is, then maybe a Saab isn’t for you. Maybe you should try a Lexus. If you’re after supreme roadholding in high speed corners, then maybe a Saab isn’t for you. I hear BMW do that stuff quite well. If you’re not sure whether you want [...]

Rony Lutz – X-Ray Saabs

January 30, 2009

I’m adding this press release to the archives here for two reasons. First, because I haven’t got it on file yet, which is a rather stupid oversight. And second, because I’ve added a huge gallery of X-ray Saabs to the downloads section of the website! Not all of the X-ray Saab images are by Rony [...]

Saab 9-5 mules have been quite scarce and with the new version expected on display in Geneva early next year, AMS are starting to get twitchy. Someone from AMS spotted a car with an Opel Insignia face and a lot of tape on it. When he looked closer, past the Opel badge on the steering [...]

Saab Vs Poster Advertising

January 25, 2009

I first posted these on the Trollhattan Saab site back in June 2005. I’ve always loved these posters and when I first loaded them on the site I included the text for around eight of them. Unfortunately I tired of writing them all out. Thankfully, Jeff I offered to finish the job. Enjoy these brilliant [...]

NAIAS: Steve Shannon on the 2010 Saab 9-5

January 23, 2009

This one’s interesting. Steve Shannon’s taken off the Cadillac hat that he was wearing earlier in the week and put on his Saab hat whilst talking to the guys at Motor Trend. Asked about future model releases, he said enough to provide the following: So what about Saab’s version of the new Cadillac SRX unveiled [...]

Epsilon II: Buick Lacrosse vs Opel Insignia

January 23, 2009

The latest vehicle to come along on the new Epsilon midsize architecture has just been revealed prior to the Detroit Motor Show. It’s the Buick Lacrosse. I’m not really keen on doing this, but people are going to be talking about the comparison anyway, so we may as well do it here. The trap, of [...]

2010 Saab 9-5 is ‘on schedule’

January 23, 2009

A regular commenter at Trollhattan Saab posted what I think is a pretty important comment for Saab and for Saab enthusiasts: GM announced to the US Saab dealers that the “new” 9-5 is back on schedule….. Now, that could be anyone, of course, but through the magic of CMS software I can track this person’s [...]

Saab 9-3x and Saab 9-5 confirmed for 2009

January 22, 2009

If you’re a daily reader here at TS then you may have reacted like I did when you saw the headlines all over the automosphere today saying that the Saab 9-3x and Saab 9-5 would be coming in 2009. That reaction would be “what took those sites so long?” Yes, GM did issue a press [...]

Loud Fast and In Control

January 22, 2009

Clive M was the first guy to place an order for a Turbo X here in Australia. He’s pretty passionate about the car, passionate enough to convince someone to customise the message his Turbo X shows at start-up: He’s also passionate enough to put together some thoughts about a road test that was published here [...]

Spyphotos: 2010 Saab 9-5

January 20, 2009

A French publication called Autojournal are claiming to have the first pics of the new Saab 9-5 in testing. Apparently the car was zooming around a facility in Barcelona when these shots were taken. Now…..if you can tell anything whatsoever from that image, you’re doing better than I am. Still, if you want to see [...]

No pictures here, just some feedback I received from Djup Strupe on my post in anticipation of the next generation Saab 9-5. —— I was just reading your article about the reveal of the 9-5 and I thought I would drop you a quick email. I have had the pleasure of seeing the new 9-5 [...]
