SAABSUNITED

Somehow I feel the 9-7X is more “Saab” than the 9-2X, inasfar as implentation goes. The 9-2X was about as badge-engineered as could be, save for very minor cabin cosmetics, sound insulation and front/rear fascia […]

Wow, now *that’s* what I call a CANDY STORE !

The BAIC “ShenBao C70G” looks like a Passat !

Actually “神寶” translated phonetically (Mandarin to English) would sound like “Son Bao”, but which doesn’t reflect the true tones of each of those two words.

Wiki almost got the translation right, but I stand by my translation:

I dunno. I watched with mixed emotions. I feel as if they’ve (the team) has been pimped to BAIC. Sorry, but that’s how it feels.

Does anyone here read Chinese ? I do (at a basic level). The brand name is “神寶” […]

@Freddy – that snow font should be Gill Sans

I’m just glad Jim didn’t get stuck with the car, period. So all in all it was a happy ending, so to speak, and I guess all that was experienced will contribute to a better car-buying experience next time (knock on […]

Hey Baver – maybe you mean horse *meatballs* ?

Great story, thanks very much Tim for sharing it with us all.

I admit the pics of this don’t excite me. Albeit knowing that many cars look better in person than in pictures. My opinion is that it looks […]

Here, I made some more tweaks to it ………. [grin]

And ……………… ?

Cool, it’s a good start Nice to see a bit more info about NEVS on their site.

Is that some farmland in Sweden in the logo font ?

China ….. the biggest of everything in the world ……..

Um hello Mr. Jiang – GM has been pulling SAAB on a downward track since its initial 50% purchase of SAAB in 1989/90. You can pull your head out of the sand now ……………

It’s a CGI anyway, and one that Tim said is partially correct at best.

I think this “mini” 9-5 needs to be scaled and proportioned differently to work well, otherwise it just looks like a regular 9-5 that got […]

I kind of agree. Looks like a Toyota Camry or something generic

Are these pics (ePower 9-3) real ? Never seen them, esp. that interior with the center console going all the way to the back, dividing the rear seats, like the Chevy […]

Does anyone (Red J ?) know if the restart of 9-3 production involves the same interior design and equipment ? Or will there be modified designs and/or equipment ?

Vagabond, that happens in *every* country in the world, under every political system ……….
