Tonsilitis still sucks, but the Girl Who Played with Fire was awesome.

Wulf has picked up on a quick interview with Victor Muller, which appears in the latest magazine from the American International Auto Dealers Association.
You can view the interview itself on Saabworld, or go to the AIADA website and download a copy of the magazine.
It’s a short piece, but it’s Victor, and any interview with Victor makes for interesting reading.

Voting for the Norwegian Car of The Year is open and the Saab 9-5 is on the ballot.
Click that link, select the 9-5 in the poll at the bottom and then click the button “send inn”.
I thought we’d done one of these Norwegian awards already. How many of them are there?
——
And whilst you’re in a voting frame of mind, why not get a Saabnut into the finals of Jalopnik’s Next Top Car Blogger competition?
Phil Lacefield Jr is currently in second place and only the top two get into the final of the competition. It’d be terrible to see him drop down to third and miss out, so please click here and cast your vote for Phil Lacefield Jr.

Beijing Automotive bought some old Saab assets at the end of last year. We’ve seen a couple of their ideas for their remodelled Saabs already, and here’s something they’re going to build on the architecture of the Saab 9-3:
It’s called the B61 concept and yes, it’s a little scary. More photos here.
It seems they’re planning a plethora of new cars based on their architecture acquisitions. From the China Car Times:
Other plans for the Saab 9-3 platform include a compact SUV that has been codenamed BC506, and was on show in Beijing as the B61 SUV, as well as the compact SUV, BAIC are already preparing a Ford Focus and Chevrolet Cruze fighter that has been codenamed BC501. Another mid size SUV is being developed, this will be codenamed BU506 and will also be be based on the 9-3 platform, it is rumored that the 007 and B40 SUV models are based on the 9-3 platform.

And finally, I can’t resist sharing this. Don’t try this at home.
Note the Saab wheel to the left of this rather drunken airbag test…..
