sandycapp commented on the post, So what is the lawsuit all about? 9 months, 2 weeks ago
Come on guys, get real. While I’m delighted to see someone taking a poke at GM, it is monumentally irrelevant how strong Spyker’scase is. An American defendant, in an American court, with a foreign plaintiff. […]

9-5 Drivers (1998-2010) 1 year, 2 months agoAdvice please, on a couple of questions. Car is an 07 9-5 SC auto 1.9TiD 150bhp.
1. I read in a respected UK motoring supplement that towing with an auto gearbox will significantly shorten the life of the gearbox. Given that I’m towing a caravan with a 1350Kg MTPLM, the car has a max towing limit of 1800Kg, and that it’s an adaptive gearbox, is…[Read more]

There is almost no-one on here who understands the correct use of the apostrophe, so don’t get wound around your axle over this!

Agreed, that SAAB would not present a greater threat than Volvo, Audi, et al. The difference is that they are all there and competing, and there’s nothing much GM can do about that. But SAAB is out of the game and […]

I think the time has come to get real about this. There are two possibilities here – either GM agrees to help by supplying parts for a couple of years, or it does not.
If GM will not play ball, then anyone […]

9-5 Drivers (1998-2010) 1 year, 3 months agoWell, we had our first snow of the winter this weekend, so had a chance for a proper test of the winter tyres. Outstanding things. Several inches of snow, slush and ice, and I had to really try hard to get ABS and Traction Control to kick in. Those tyres just GRIP. Well impressed.

You might want to remember, before making comments like that, that whereas we (UK) entered WW2 in defence of an invaded ally, the US entered (2 years later), only after being attacked at Pearl Harbor.

Hang on a minute here folks. On the one hand you’re excoriating SweGov for not supporting Saab, and on the other hand beating up USGov for bailing GM out. Can’t have it both ways, peoples!

In the UK Warranty Direct are offering a 25% discount on warranties on Saabs which are less than 3 years old.

Odd, but the main feeling I get from this discussion is an overwhelming acceptance by all that Saab is now done for.

Maybe I’m misinterpreting this news, but, at first sight anyway, it looks like bad news for GM (fewer imports and hence sales)and potentially better news for Saab (increased likelihood of Youngman wanting to buy […]

I have a Luxury Care warranty from Warranty Direct on my 07 9-5. They are very good and settled a claim without hassle (albeit not a very big claim) only three weeks after I bought the warranty. I would recommend […]

I had a chat with my local dealer (Saab Reading) while they were fitting winter tyres for me. Apparently they are not (yet, at any rate) having any difficulty getting most parts, including service items, which can […]

Well, I’m sure that saving the museum is a big issue for us, but “the biggest”? Cars rolling off the line, and spares availability are the biggest for me!

It is clear that GM have done this because they do not trust the Chinese with their IP. I wonder how the Chinese will react to this very clear and very public insult.

A bit OT. Well, I hope it’s gonna be ok. Took my 9-5 into Reading SAAB today, for winter boots to be fitted. They had a NG 9-5 saloon in the showroom. WOW. Good thing it wasn’t an estate, or I might have come away […]
