Trollhattan Saab has changed!
The site you're viewing now is the original Trollhattan Saab weblog, though it's now an archive only and no new material is posted here. As of February 2009, all new material is posted at our new site - Saabs United.
Please join us at Saabs United and get your daily Saab fix from Saab sources all around the world.
Spelling, grammar and sentence formation. Although you’ll spot my own weaknesses here and there on this blog, I’m a stickler for these things.
So you can imagine how annoyed I get when I see a ‘professionally’ prepared document for one of my favourite vehicles, one on whose success I pin quite high hopes, with a stupid sloppy mistake in it.
I’ve tried dropping a quiet hint to GM about this, but it hasn’t been addressed yet. So it’s time to take it to another level. It’s the new electronic brochure for the 9-3 Sport Combi. Go to the introductory paragraph at the bottom of page 2.
Do the words… "A car that takes the Saab heritage of sporty and versatile car concepts to yet another new level. It�s soon here. Faster than you think." ….make sense to you? (my emphasis added).
Someone at GM please take care of this before we’re all made to look like gargantuan bufoons. Please.

At least “yet another new level” is better than “yet another old level”

You’re forgiven 9x. It’s what the whole post is about after all. Lord help me if I have to read back through all the words I’ve written here and correct everything. I’d be old(er) and grey(er).

Here’s another Steven Wright:
Every temperature in a room is “room temperature”
