This sounds very good. The assurance program in the US isso complicated no one could explain it, the dealers in the area will not accept it and must be determined now as a failure. Perhaps some communication be […]

Not being a fan of a pure EV like the Tesla however the range is dependent on how much you are willing to spend upfront. At about $100,000 you can get a realistic 225 mile range on the Tesla. Since that is more […]

Just wondering, does Victor’s car have an automagic transmission or a real row your with a clutch ?

Angelo once again is spot on with his comments. Unfortunately !
I would love to put one my rose colored glasses and imagine a network of active Saab dealers in North America. Selling great cars at reasonable […]

Well looks way to cut up with lines. If you told me it was a KIA I would have believed you.

Well nothing wrong with Ebay as a venue, you don’t have to use paypal.
However I have very mixed reaction to this. For the vast majority of the parts listed prices are off by a factor of 10 if they actually […]

Little discussion on the actual programs. I called them and got some information but was refered to the local former dealer who is still a Saab service site. They said that they were NOT participating in the […]

The key point still is that most drivers need a greater range than a pure EV can provide. There is no free lunch, batteries are VERY expensive. Currently some EV’s can get as much as 4 miles on one kWh. That is […]

Not only is a great looking car, my personal experience with my 2005 Arc is that it is very reliable. I wish I could say that it is the baby in the garage just waiting for nice weather but the reality is that I […]

Jeff,
In the real world you cannot reduce the price because in the US at the moment we are giving a taxpayer provided gift of $7,500 primarily to people who could well afford to pay for the entire car. We wont […]

Jeff,
One of the fundamental difficulties with an battery system is the ability to charge rapidly without greatly reducing the total number of charging cycles in the life of the battery. Having charging stations […]

Both Bob and David make very salient points. If NEVS Saab needs to follow through with what brought them to this business then so be it. However pure EV’s are not a practical solution for most current Saab […]

There was never any reason to takeover Gm by the govt, destroy all the bondholders, give a large amount of the stock to the unions and stick us taxpayers with the balance. GM could nad should have declared […]

One wonders if there was any tax paid to the Netherlands on this income as well. Where was his residence ? This matters can get very complex. Easist just to give everything to the government and then live in […]

A great start. Probably the best news we have heard so far about the NEVS group. If they really talk with the fans the certainly will get an earful about the NECESSITY of on board generation. !

Jeff you hit by saying all of these developments are inevitable. Saab was going in the right direction, NEVS is not with pure EV.

I am surprised that there never seems to be any discussion of the Buick […]

Despite all that has occurred in this last year I have always felt the Victor had the energy to suceed. A true gentleman , we send hem all the best wishes on his birthday !

Terry,
It is not along came the hydrogen car but rather when and if an inexpensive, non energy intensive way of producing and storing hydrogen itself happens. How to put the hydrogen to use is not an issue, but […]

Hughw,
Spot on. You are not alone and the market has spoken very loudly about the necessity for vehicles that can make long distance trips.

I got a chuckle from the statement that the Chinese market was the […]
