Let’s hope NEVS will produce an ICE car as well, so there is something to fall back to once the EV hype is over.
If they don’t there will probably be not much of a future for our iconic brand.
However, I do see […]

Hopefully it’s not an Electric Vehicle…..

Excellent !!

Very interesting indeed!
And hopefully it will ‘kill the EV‘, so we can keep those turbos spinning….

Keep your fingers crossed…; this is gonna be the point where many long-time Saab owners decide to either stick with our brand or look elswhere.
Let’s hope its an engine as hi-quality and strong as the B235/234 […]

I hope you’re right!
otherwise I’m gonna have to keep my trusty old 9000 2.3T forever……

Bit off-topic, but the question remains what ICE will we see in the 9-3?
Judging by lots of remarks of long-time Saab owners, they probably won’t buy it if a cheap mediocre quality chinese engine is used…

You’re right, it’s called a civilization in decline…

Thanks!

That’s great!
Can I become a member of the BC Saabclub, even if I live in Europe?
BC & AB happen to be my favorite summer vacation destinations…

That’s great
also, a decent 9-5 can relatively easy be found, but it’s getting increasingly difficult to find a
well equipped 9000 in very good condition, making it more unique every day…
Good luck with […]

I admit the German ZF automatic transmission wasn’t the best in the world. A ‘sportier’ driver might be better of with the manual. howevever, if you take good care of the old ZF and don’t abuse it too much it will […]

Not only that, but a friend of mine was amazed how solid the old 9k feels compared to his 5 year old 9-3…

There you have it; after the 9000 Saabs became compromises. The 9k was in almost all aspects superior to an Audi 100/200 or BMW 5 series. To say the same of the GM 9-5 would be absurd.

Looking at this dash makes you realize how great the original 9-5 dash was, the one before the ‘GM-dash’ of Dame Edna…

I do like the Thorium idea, hopefully something meaningfull will come out of it.
Still, for now at least, it seems our best days are behind us..but that’s always extremely difficult to admit and the notion will […]

You’re right. But all this s..t going on (and much more like this) is just the ‘writing on the wall’ of the decline of the Western Civilization as we know it. There was a golden time when we pushed the boundaries […]

Don’t get me wrong Tim; I have the greatest respect for everyone who ever worked for Saab and helped design and built those fantastic cars! But to me its not just about what company manages Saab; it just […]

I always do that too; turning around to look at my old faithfull Saab after a long (or even short) drive. And I too had those same doubts when I was still driving a GM-era Saab. I’ve even considered buying a Volvo […]
