SAABSUNITED

Living where I do in New Jersey, the Allentown facility is an hour or so away (and just about all highway). I’ve been there as part of a NJ Saab Club outing, probably in the 90s.

Same ole tricks and a couple of new ones. I haven’t seen the two cars head-on pass with the other two cars and the reversal by one car followed by backing up to travel between two approaching cars. The […]

This was an interesting post on many levels that motivates several comments. First, the use of text messaging while the car is moving works (better) when it is all done via text-to-speech (incoming) and […]

My US 1990 9000S was the first model year with the 2.3 l engine with Direct Ignition. It was a naturally aspirated 150 hp engine. This was introduced in the US before the 2.3 l turbo. It looks like the 9000 […]

I had just flipped my SU 2013 calendar to April with the great shot of the 2011 9-5 and soon after brought up SU to the “breaking news.” I knew this was going to be a joke but was very, very curious to see […]

This was a great social event for us. We’ve seen most of the Saabs on display at other events through the years but it was nice to see them gathered in this setting. It was great to visit with all the folks we […]

I just took the tour of the site and realized I must be an old timer. I have many of the books and select other items. A nice start.

My friend Steve G. makes accurate points about the GM engine. Saab started its life by sourcing its engines and evolved to making their own. By the early- to mid-80′s, they were considered bullet proof. The […]

That 800 number in the advert is the Customer Relations number for Saab Cars USA (that became SCNA with the Spyker acquistion). It has probably been in existence for over 20 years. Great continuity!

While we […]

I do like that they kept the long-time Saab word mark and carry on that tradition. And, since I had a 1984 900, I had that steering wheel with that roundel logo!

Ditto….In addition to Saab-related gatherings, I’ve found Tim at industry events. It starts out with, hey, that guy looks familiar to hey, that’s Tim! And recall that Tim started as head of Saab Cars, NA […]
