UK sales record smashed!!

Congratulations to all those Brits snapping up Saabs this year. It seems like all those favourable diesel mileage concessions are doing wonders for the bottom line, in terms of sales volume at least.

Recall notice

On the road at the moment and PC access is limited, so posting is lite.
I was amazed this morning when I checked the comments to find about 15 or so new ones, most of them to the Tell GM about it campaign. As I said yesterday, there’s a wealth of good thinking out [...]
