    dcpattie commented on the post, All three former Saab managers are released! 8 hours, 10 minutes ago

    This was all done in retaliation for the “bare all” piece on VM and Saab. Victor gave a few zingers during that interview, I loved the “THAT IS NOT YOUR JOB” quote! I’m sure this peeved a few in the SweGov and […]

    Damn, and the Tea Party/Patriot groups thought they had it rough. When the SweGov has an axe to grind they make the IRS look like the JV team.

    And of course the Fisker Karma “Surf” could be the all new 9-5 SportCombi…oh the possibilities!

    Dead serious about hiring Fisker staff. In fact, wouldn’t it be cool if NEVS purchased the remains of Fisker – consolidated the design studio – and had production capability in both Trollhättan and Uusikaupunki – […]

    Why are they even placing “Help Wanted” ads? Didn’t Saab have dedicated EV staff before the Dec 2011 collapse – why not re-hire them? I always got the sense that in the automotive world, companies constantly […]

    I’d keep an eye on Volvo – they’ve got some great product and tech coming down the pike (for real).

    +1

    Totally agree, For Saab Cars to last in the U.S. market they will need something like bumper-to-bumper for 7 years/75,000 miles and free maintenance for 4 years. In addition, they should offer something […]

    dcpattie commented on the post, How much would you pay for a new 9-3? 1 week ago

    If Saab were to charge 35K for an updated 9-3, it would need to following features as STANDARD equipment:
    *HID lights
    *Navigation
    *Parking camera
    *HUD (with crash alert)
    *Ventilated seats
    *Blind spot […]

    2013 BMW 320i starts @ $32,500
    2014 Audi A3 sedan will start under 30K
    2014 Mercedes Benz CLA sedan will start under 30K

    That’s why I picked 30K.

    I can tell you, the T6 motor is an absolute beast! I also own an XC70 T6 and it blows the doors off my NG 9-5 Aero 2.8T – not even close.

    I like – but Hirsch will always be second fiddle to PoleStar who is now essentially Volvo’s AMG / M-works division.

    dcpattie commented on the post, SAAB Of The Week 1 week, 2 days ago

    I love the NG9-5 SC! People should be in jail from not allowing it to come to market. However, I wonder how successful it would have been in the US market? Saab had a few things working against it:

    (1) […]

    I don’t disagree but the 2014 CTS and Corvette looks promising.

    dcpattie commented on the post, It is what it is… 2 weeks, 4 days ago

    GM earned 7.9 billion in 2012. I’m not saying they’re out of the woods or that I disagree with you but they have turned quarter-over-quarter profits for the past 2+ years.

    I think Saab could have been a small […]

    I think VM said it best when he said (paraphrasing here) “in the 80′s if you wanted a performance convertible you had two real choices: the Porsche 911 convertible or the Saab SPG convertible”. Those were the […]

    I’m hoping they (new Saab on behalf of old Saab) patched things up with BMW and their motors are what in store! If I had to pick a backup it would be Honda’s new Earth Dreams motor (I don’t think they’ve made a […]

    Thinking out loud here, considering that Fisker Automotive is on the brink of bankruptcy, is there a chance NEVS could dive in and bid for the company – using it as a springboard for (1) ready to go hybrid […]

    Are the black parts (roof, side mirrors) are carbon fiber for weight reduction?
