Following the sad news that Saab won't be showing at the Chicago Auto Show in the next few weeks, I've received some advice from Saab Cars North America about the official schedule for US Auto Shows coming up in the next few months.
I asked specifically about the 9-5 being available at auto shows, hence the answer as follows:
Tentatively, the schedule for the 9-5 at auto shows looks like this:
- Cleveland - February 27 to March 7th
- Dallas - March 3 to March 7
- New York - March 31 to April 11
Additional notes:
Greg Abbott emailed me, saying that Saab are still slated to appear at the Minneapolis Auto Show from March 6th to the 14th and a quick look at that link shows them listed on the floorplan. Perhaps this will go ahead, but without the 9-5 in attendance?
And from AJ Murphy, via comments:
SAAB will be represented at the Cincinnati Enquirer Auto Expo c/o Just SAAB. We, as a dealer, have purchased the space and will provide our own cars. It won't be as "fancy" as if GM had provided our display and cars but we felt it was important to show that we're still here and to be able to spread the message of SAAB being purchased.
Dates:
February 25 - 28, 2010

It seems the San Antonio Auto Show website is terrible and hasn't even been updated to reflect the new year.
Take Central Expressway (U.S. 75) southbound. Take exit to I-35/U.S. 77 to Field Street. Turn left under the freeway and veer to the right onto Griffin Street. The Convention Center is straight ahead.
I was on Griffen St. last weekend. (On Sunday)!
Awesome attitude. I hope you clean up at the show at get heaps of enquiries and orders.
Best of success,
:-)
Do you have any word on when dealers will receive a 9-5 for demo? If production starts in April, it seems like the dealers should have something on the lot soon even if they don't have their allocations. There is virtually no product left in my region.
There's a shortage of product everywhere.
It would be great if one of those production representative units recently built in Mexico were shown instead of the Bio concept.
