It’s Good News Week

Yes folks there’s nothing but good news here at Trollhattan. The 9-3SC is on it’s way (see below) and the first 9-7x’s are being delivered to happy customers.
Personally speaking, I think I’m now authorised to reveal my own good news: that job application and interview I was sweating about a few weeks ago has [...]

High hopes for the 9-3SC

The 9-7x is finally rolling out from dealer’s lots in the US, with watchful eyes and hopeful hearts everywhere wishing it success in the world’s biggest car market. Elsewhere, Saab’s newest and ‘purest’ new model, the 9-3 Sport Combi, is in takeoff mode in Europe this week.

Saab Vs……..?

One of the most popular areas of my old site was the Saab Vs posters, which I’m hoping to load up on here again soon. I am missing a few of these though, so if you have a copy of the ‘Swiss Army Knife’ poster or any others that you didn’t see on my [...]

Some thought on ads

Thanks to Ryan in DC, I got a peek at one of the new 9-7x ads earlier today. I’m still away from the office (staying at my sister’s place in Melbourne now), so I can’t upload it. I’ll put it up on the site early next week.

As predicted….

You might remember a few weeks ago that some poms drove the 2006 9-3 Aero with the 2.8, and they didn’t quite warm to it.

And so they have - [...]

UK 9-3 SportCombi pricing - go order yours now.
A ‘write-up’ on the 2006 9-3 Aero 2.8.
It’s all happening.
Added to this is some “On again” news relating to the 9-6x. If you’ve followed my 9-6x thread, you’ll [...]

Sportcombi pricing (Yoo-K)

ITV have a little snippet with a great photo I haven’t seen before. The article is on the UK pricing of the 9-3 Sportcombi, for which UK Saab dealers are already taking orders. Here’s the pic:

As to the content, well, if you’re a pom you’ll be forking out another 1,000 quid over the [...]

Some 2.8 Aero insight

Autoweek have either driven the 9-3 Aero 2.8 or do a reasonable job of acting like they’ve driven the 9-3 Aero 2.8. If indeed they have driven the 9-3 Aero 2.8, then they do a lousy job of writing up the car.
I show the article, you decide.
Either way, I really can’t wait [...]
