Sorry folks.

I’m away from civilisation at the moment and won’t be able to post for a few days.

I’d like to leave this thread open for all comments and thoughts. Anything Saaby you have to say – now’s the time. I will be approving comments daily, so may have to wait a few hours to be seen, but don’t let that stop you.

Cheers,

SW

ps – staying in the most beautiful spot on the planet – Binalong Bay, Northeast Tasmania. Photo coming soon. We have a hot tub!!

    Will you be renaming/branding the site “Russelsheim”?

    (Next Saab 9-5 model to be built at Rüsselsheim, not Trollhattan according to

    just-auto.com)

    Just found this site from the gmblogs website as a trackback. I’m glad to see a place where others are questioning the direction of Saab within GM and their current build quality. I am currently leasing a 2003 9-3 sedan and have really questioned whether this vehicle is supposed to be in the luxury or other higher segment. I need to call the dealer (AGAIN) for some more warranty fixes. Thanks for the interesting reading.

    Robin – in a word – No bloody way!! (oops)

    Christian – welcome. The purpose of the site isn’t necessarily to do that, but it just seems to happen when you go with the flow. GM are doing some good things here and there, and there’s no doubt that I’d be blogging about something else altogether if they didn’t save Saab from extinction. But it still won’t stop me from saying my bit.

    G’day Swade,

    In case you don’t already have this link, I find the Canadian AutoPress site fairly comprehensive, up-to-date and their reviews well-written with thoroughness, insight and a good dose of balance.
