    Rune commented on the post, Spyker could revive the New Saab 9-5, in theory… 1 hour, 35 minutes ago

    I’m not sure what discussion you expect from this. I said something, and you basically replied “that is not the way it was”. Which is fine, but where is the discussion?

    My suggestion to you: Why do you not […]

    Which considerations are you referring to?

    You are glossing over quite a bit of history there.

    GM had the ball in their court when they selected Spyker in the first place. And they were instrumental in making sure a significant part of Spyker’s […]

    @Keith, GM did not allow Saab to borrow money from the Chinese. If GM do not care to get paid, why should anyone else care about GM?

    GM actively put Saab into this position, every inch of the way.

    Splitting hairs here… But if the story is “producing the 9-5 requires GM’s approval”, then it remains the same story as told over a year ago.

    That said, GM’s sabotage action in December deserves an aftermath. […]

    I apologize for the delay, but here are a handful pictures from the day when TimR picked up our last 9-3 (for the time being).

    The wikipedia article (http://sv.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dimstr%C3%A5lkastare) points to http://www.notisum.se/rnp/sls/lag/19981276.htm (claims to be up-to-date AFAICT) which states that in day-time, you can use fog […]

    Don’t forget: ANA have been very active lately and got away with whatever was left of parts in the factory.

    Hehe, we probably are and have been for a good while.

    I find it difficult to believe our society can continue growth ad nauseum. Perhaps that is because I lack the necessary ability to envision the future. Or […]

    The source (autoblog) does not claim Tata will move production. They only state that Tata’s Chinese partner will start making cars in China. That is what many other brands are doing already, and it seems to be the […]

    :) I still object to AWD in general, but that 9-5 will undoubtedly bring a smile to your face. I love everything about the new 9-5, except for the keyfob that will unlock the doors when you keep the ‘fob inside a […]

    Presumably earning small money per produced unit does not hurt as much if you are pushing more units?

    I think part of this puzzle also comes down to having the right models at hand. Didn’t Volvo pull out their […]

    Rune commented on the post, Electric cars, a historical flop… 1 week ago

    Splitting H20 into H2 and O2 molecules is nothing new.

    Electrolysis is a process that has been thoroughly researched for 100+ years. Yes, it works and it is already put to good use, but at the end of the day: […]

    Well, I have had quite some difficulties getting EE maps for my Garmin. It was not until quite recently that maps appeared for Georgia?

    I went to Serbia in 2008 and it was my distinct impression (from comments […]

    …but I need the entire album!

    I do not know why, but I prefer listening to the entire album rather than the odd selected track. Habit I suppose, but I like to think it helps add another dimension to the […]

    I have tried asking around, and to the best of my knowledge there are no EE maps for the NG 9-5 either.

    Although I am frustrated with the satnav vendors, I also get the feeling that eastern european governments […]

    Always good to see another Stones fan! :)

    ThumbnailAlthough I love my 9-5 to bits, there are one or two features I cannot reward with a full “thumb’s up”. Time has come to discuss the 9-5′s built-in satnav system.

    Short detours
    First niggle when using the […]

    Well, if you start by pressing the “Dest” button, you are half-way there. On the menu that presents itself, there should be a “place of interest” or similar. I forget the wording. You will be presented with a list […]

    Thanks for the kind words Bravada! It is good to see you old-timers are still around.
