A note of thanks
I just wanted to say a quick but very significant ‘Thankyou’ to everyone that left their comments and thoughts in the ‘Tell GM About It’ effort. It’s my hope that your efforts in writing these comments won’t be in vain, and that the decision makers at GM see the passion that stands behind the [...]
Saab 9-5 Unleashed
All kudos to JW Lanky at SaabCentral for unearthing the new Saab 9-5 Ad. It’s been created by Lowe Brindfors in Sweden and features the car as an addition to the wildlife to be seen in Sweden’s forests. A great campaign IMHO. Talk about setting a controversial-looking car off on the right [...]
Mid cycle refresh complete
Hey all,
The blog got the 9-5 treatment on the weekend, with a slightly altered look and a few tweaks here and there. The major changes:
* Fittingly, the 9-5 has been put on the banner at the top.
* I’ve incorporated a new ‘blogroll’ on the sidebar to the right, with a whole host of links [...]
Saab’s future: only 4 years?
Automobile.com have an interesting article today analysing the future for Saab. Their opinion is that despite recent reports, Saab will likely stay in GM’s hands at least until the production slated for Trollhattan through 2009 runs out.

A Final Reminder
Hi all
As noted below, I’m doing a fair chunk of maintenance work on the site today.
I just wanted to post a reminder that the Tell GM About It campaign will close Sunday at midnight, Aussie time. That’s just under 35 hours as at the time I’m writing this.
Please, if you haven’t had [...]
Maintenance
Hi all,
It’s the weekend here and I’m using it to do some blog maintenance. Hopefully i’ll be able to get some new links up and a mostly-new colour format, just to keep things interesting.
Luckily it’s all quiet on the newsfront, so you’re not really missing much whilst I’ve got my head buried in programming [...]
GM design article
I don’t want to turn this into a GM-blog, but this article is an interesting one.
I’ve heard others ask the question “What the hell is Bob Lutz doing for his salary?” He was lured out of what I assume was ‘retirement’ by GM in 2001 and GM has lost marketshare ever since.
