SAABSUNITED

Borderline luddite here so I appreciate your points, Tim. I remember Nissan w/ HUD on 240 SX and the 80′s Maxima’s with that womens voice who would remind me my lights were on etc,,,There will always be certain […]

Now I’m thoroughly impressed and depressed. What could have been, or could be? Now all we need to see is interior followed by a test drive.

I think many believe the Saab name has value, despite the history. Though I’m also not quite sure what NEVS plans to do. I can say if they build the right car at the right price for the right people, they’ll […]

It’s already an echo chamber and continuity is non issue, Angelo. The overwhelming majority believe Saab is dead and have moved on. Psychologically, consumers have experienced Kubler Ross’s stages of grief and […]

Party pooper X’s 2 here… (and just trying to put heat on GM)- not much consulation for those w/ 10′s and 11′s and no warranty. It’s no different than what Castrol offered on any brand some yrs ago.

I’m still disappointed in GM’s lack of response. This seems like a token program that allows them to say they’ve done something, hoping Saab owners will give up/go away. Didn’t Castrol do something similar? Though […]

Lately, I find myself working at not posting a comment about the state of Saab’s United and can no longer resist writing. I’m doing so to offer my thoughts and feedback, (understanding it may not be shared by […]

Can someone please tell me- who will be Nevs’ prototypical buyer and what kind of car are they looking to build? Equipment, ergonomics, luxury, technology, body style, performance/handling are all inextricably […]

Investors bought them and selected one lucky dealer in each of these states- Me, VT and NH. Don’t know about other states.

Pains me to hear talk about other options, Tim. It very well could be last chance for you to buy a “new” Saab as we know it, wouldn’t want you to regret not doing so! Also, why not late model/low mileage used? RE […]

I’m having flashbacks. Was in girlfriends’ 06 9-3 when a Civic driven (by 24 yo who blew .24 etoh) hit us head on, slightly off center at 30 and 50 mph. Civic collapsed like a tin can and Saab’s structural […]

Saab stopped leasing in 2008 in the US

I’m interested in one of the auction cars. Is it reasonable to ask for one and allow a dealer a 500.00-$100 profit?

I believe most, if not all of the 45 cars will go and dealers have numbers they’re willing to pay. Ally will then offer the remaining to all other (not just Saab) dealers and I’m 99% they will in some way be […]

What’s your pricing philosophy, Jason/Julie? Julie, you mentioned having a $50k 9-5 for $32K. how are you going to sell that when folks now know auction cars are available at close to 50% MSRP?

I don’t think posting cars for auction on this site was a good idea. My concern is more bidders increase prices. Might be best to let dealers quietly buy them them?

Imagine you’re a decision maker at Saab AB and you’re considering allowing NEVS/MM to use the Saab name. What specifically are you looking for in order to do so?

I’m as skeptical as anyone about NEVS. I also can try the optimist approach…how about looking at it as if they just went into hibernation, employees come back and revive the company who understand Saab DNA and […]

Doesn’t seem likley that national ELECTRIC vehicle sweden is likely to produce our beloved Saab Turbo’s anymore. Should the NEVS be the victor/winning bidder, I just can’t Imagine the product and time it would […]

In addition to asking “where the money’s coming from?”, I’d ask where is the money going? There’s a lot of discussion about assets, what and how much are Saab’s liabilities?
