Saab O The Weekend
Sorry about the lack of posting this weekend, but it’s been a busy one already. Two words: house hunting.
In any case, the 9-3 SportCombi promo deserved a fair bit of time as the first headline as it’s absolutely sensational. If you haven’t checked it out yet, then please do.
In the meantime, [...]
Best SportCombi promo
A big thankyou to Olav for sending me the link to this Japanese promo site for the Saab 9-3 SportCombi.
Wow. Very impressive.
It runs on Flash 8 but is well worth the download if you’re not already set up.
The site is a transition piece. One picture leading to another, then to another. [...]
Safety: bad test, hopeful result
Safety’s always been a priority of the Saab brand. The 9-3 and 9-5 ranges all have 5-star Euro NCAP ratings and in this case, it’s saved someone’s life, though he’s still in dangerous waters.
The young, 17 year old driver collided with an SUV a few days ago in Michigan. No-one’s clear on what happened other [...]
From the horses mouth (sorry Jan-Willem!)
Detroit Free Press writer Mark Phelan doesn’t mind Saabs at all. He’s written a few positive articles this year already. A few weeks ago he wrote an article that I missed decrying the poor recent sales of the 9-2x. Some of you may remember that there were only 15 sold in October.
Unfortunately, I didn’t see [...]
Turkeys ‘n stuff
I’d just like to take a moment to wish all those Unites States Saabers a happy, safe and real turkey-filled Thanksgiving (no fake turkeys here thanks, folks!).
Hopefully if Google have done the right thing, you Americans should be seeing thanksgiving themed ads on the left sidebar just for today. Perhaps one of you could take [...]
9-7x Italiano? Bologna!!
Thanks to Andy, in comments, I have an excuse to perform what is perhaps the worst photoshop job ever.
Word received through Autoblog Italy that the 9-7x is coming to a pizza joint near you!!
The vehicle will be shown at the Motor Show in Bologna and I assume from my dodgy Babelfish translator that sales will [...]
Car Buying Tips
I came accross this thread at Saab Central and noted it with some interest, given that I’ve just done the whole car-buying thing. In the thread, D.Thomas considers the whole “trade-in” system to be totally unworthwhile, as it takes money that you could have made from a decent private sale (i.e. money you receive [...]
Saab 95 dash repair
I don’t have any text to go with this, but the pictures tell the story anyway. I wrote yesterday on my wheel repair issues and mentioned an article one of my fellow Tasmanian Saab freaks had put together on repairing and painting your wheels.
I thought I’d post these pics as further evidence of Drew’s [...]
