SAABSUNITED

I know that price is important, but I think Saab should be thinking more about how they are going to re-enter the market, gain trust and market share. I think Hyundai and KIA are good examples. They really didn’t […]

BTW — the turbo 1.6L engine in the new Focus is a 4-cylinder.

Agreed. Its exactly the kind of car Saab should be making…along with a 9-3-sized hatchback or even smaller. Imagine the turbocharged Ford 3-cylinder in a Saab 9-1 or 9-2. It could be killer!

If Saab forsakes the US market or produces only all-electric cars, I’m leaning toward the new 1.6 litre turbo Ford Focus…just sayin’.

I would LOVE IT if Nevs jumped in with both feet with this racing series. Go Saab!

Without profits there is no NEVS or SAAB. The market simply isn’t ready for EV’s. Otherwise, demand for them would be easily outstripping ICE’s. That’s not to say there won’t ever be a market. Personally, I […]

There’s very little product available because nobody wants an electric car…well, very few people anyway.

And I have my doubts that if GM had kept Saab, the US Treasury would have let them spend money on anything other than “American” products, i.e., Saab.

Joe, when you throw your had into the ring and create a business, you can and will do everything in your power to insure your investment in capital and time is successful. Tell me, what was wrong with any of the […]

Tim, your story makes me think just how short-sighted the Swedish government was for not fighting tooth & nail to help keep Saab alive. Once a company is gone, usually, there is no going back — and TH and Sweden […]

Roger that, thanks.

EREV…what is does “ER” stand for? I get that EV is electric vehicle. Thanks for the education in advance.

Make that a Ford Fusion 1.6L Turbo.

Did you see that Ford is coming out with a 1.6L 4-cylidner Fusion? They are going after Saab’s former market. Smart. If Nevs doesn’t bust a move, they are gonna lose any loyalty they may have left — but somehow, […]

Interesting interview. I felt he was being diplomatic with his answer concerning an electric SAAB. I think it speaks volumes that ANA has had the opportunity to sell electric GM/Opel products, but hasn’t taken the […]

I truly don’t know what to say…just don’t like the “electric vehicle” terminology. Why oh why can’t Saab just produce a car that I want with a turbo charged internal combustion engine? I DO NOT WANT or NEED an […]

Which proves my point. Someone must pay for those tax breaks.

Agreed, battery prices will continue to drop. But I can guarantee you that taxes will continue to rise to make up for the shortfall of less petroleum being consumed. In the long run, there will be no financial […]

I would expect Saab engineers to play a large role in whatever engine is chosen in order to bring it up to Saab standards. So, I see no problem with engine origin.

Maybe swapping electrolytes would bring back gas station attendants — wouldn’t that be great: “Filler Up with Gatorade please, I need my electrolytes!”
