SAABSUNITED

Shhhh!

The worst part is it seems like Nicholas Cage has absolutely zero idea what the people are saying to him. If we have any native Chinese speakers, please confirm if it was, “Look at stupid washed up American actor […]

I know I’ll get several lashings for this, but I actually like the Mercedes GLA concept. If not just for the proportions, but for the practicality of having an AWD hatchback that’s good on gas.

I’ll post more about it later, but Chinese Saab built for China only. They’ve said it hundreds of times already, and we’ve covered it here a lot. Maybe you’re new to SaabsUnited .

In an ideal world to keep […]

There are a few key differences here that help NEVS defray cost unlike Volvo with their Chengdu plant. First, Qingdao is directly participating in NEVS through a 22% ownership stake. While it hasn’t been spelled […]

It’s 7 years since it was unveiled, not since it was conceived

I think it feels new because there were so few cars built that actually had its design incorporated into them .

I’m ready for post Aero-X.

Sept 2013, no hybrids. Sept 2016?: hybrid is still optimistic. September 2017?: more like it.

That said it’s been over 2 years since the production line stopped and it feels like a few months ago. A few years […]

Ugh. Not sure they can do this without a lawsuit.

Sounds like a dirty move like Youngman made with Lotus. Any other suggestions for Saab’s Hong Kong name?

Who asked you from NEVS? What part of China are you in?

*Like*wise. Glad that NEVS is smart enough to engage the hardcore Saab fans through this website regarding the hybrid news. Very intuitive PR to pick a website that’s small enough not to make big waves on such a […]

Tim just forgot a conditional word in there. Not intended, just a slip. NEVS “consider” buying Saab parts is what he meant I’m sure. If I were trying to write in Swedish all the time you’d have thought Mahindra, […]

The next Tesla superchargers are going in on 95 in central NJ, so you should be all set. Charging infrastructure is rapidly catching up, it’s pretty amazing. I doubt Saab will have as capable a solution as Tesla […]

Fisker was a consultant for Tesla who went off on his own to try to beat Musk and do it better. Elon brought the designer from Mazda, Fritz over instead, and I think for the most part (except the guppy mouth) made […]

No, we can’t lol. Read Tim’s hybrid comments if you want hints though. We usually bury the most inside information in comments if you hadn’t noticed by now .

I put the Moogs on my 9-3 after my old sway bar links wore out, and after reading online reviews. The car instantly felt way more solid. Actually, that’s the weekend I drove down to the Catskills to chase Victor […]

As Tim states in the article about hybrid drive, they’re trying to get the gas 9-3 (refresh of the old 9-3) back in production. As far as the Gen 2 cars, I doubt they’ll have an exclusively gas powered car, which […]

100% correct. In fact if you’re looking at EV sales, as I’ve covered in previous articles, North America is projected to be the largest consumer of EVs by continent in the near-to-mid term, far outpacing China, […]
