SAABSUNITED

Now this is a considerable improvement over what we saw in previously published pics. The design language is strong and distinctively Saaby. The tail is unmistakable Saab and classy. Very confident. The side seems […]

It reminds me of the first version of passat CC and the new Mercedes CLA, only this one is a hatchback. Both are very well designed cars. It looks though like this design approach will become crowded in the future […]

Not me, sorry to say. Looks like a Mercedes CLS. Never liked that design.

Seeing it for the first time, I didn’t go “wow”, but rather “hmmm”. There’s something familiar about this car – these front lights… Fiat Marea… no… Ford Focus. Perhaps. There’s something plasticky about the […]

I’ll try to be short. There are 2 issues:

1. Yes, as you said, and I agree, a chinese worker is surely able to produce a good quality product, provided that all the requirements for that are fulfiled. But on […]

Actually, Angelo, you are right. If you dig enough into this matter about China, it’s not about human rights at all. It is flat out about a feeling among western nations, that China is a threat to them. And in […]

RS, you’re absolutely right. Initialy, I also had somo problems with the fact that 1,9 diesel engines used in Saabs are/were made by Fiat – in Pratola Serra Italy, if I got it right. But when you come over this […]

So Mahindra was required to purchase Saab Parts in order to lay their hands on Saab, but NEVS wasn’t? As I am not a big fan of conspiracy theories, I’ll just guess that Mahindra wasn’t around long enough to be […]

Was it the right way for Saab in order to survive, to have pushed the 9-5SC to the market instead of focusing on a new 9-3 is most probably a less important dilema than it seems to be. Sometimes just about no […]

So in short, if I imagine a more phoenix-ish front and a little less bloated body I would not be that far off… well, that would make for a very nice car. As for the design shown above goes, I would rate it with 7 out of 10.

I like the website logo, but the wheel and bonett logo lacks contrast and I sincerely hope it is not an indication of future Saab ingenuity. It looks weak and worn – just imagine a silvery worn-out badge in the […]

True, EURO NCAP didn’t test a 9-3 since 2002 which effectively leaves us in darkness when it comes to the debate, how well current 9-3 would fare in crash tests. My felling is that it would perform great with […]

I agree. SportCombi or X would be a better choice on Scandinavian and probably on European markets in general. But are those really the markets, that they are going to focus their initial efforts on?

20.000 until the end of the year and 60.000 in 2014. Wow! So, I understand the whole quantity is intended for China, because by the time they start producing these cars, they won’t be allowed to be sold in EU for […]

+1

In reality there is no right answer right now at all. There is no way, you can sell 9-3′s at prices as they were in numbers required to make profits and if prices are lowered to the extend to make possible to sell […]

1. The situation about Saab to my eyes resembles more to avakening from coma than death. Which naturaly does not tell us much about what the future might look like.
2. NEVS is not a real manufacturer of […]

Seb, if I read your comments say a year and a half ago, before I bought my Saab, they would have scared me. In fact, in all honesty, I did have some second thoughts about buying a car, just because of comments […]

There may be a number of reasons why 9-5 didn’t sell. A lacking service/dealership network has already been mentioned,but that doesn’t answer the question why 9-5 sold so much worse than a much older 9-3. Here’s […]

Mike, I am not so sure that the fact that 9-3 being a basicaly old design is a crux of the problem for Saab or NEVS if you like. Though it is true that there have been way overdue fanfare about it. Look at Saab […]
