Aero-X at the Saab Museum

Thanks to Tim and Mats for sending in some photos taken over the weekend at the Saab Museum at Trollhattan, where the new Aero-X concept made it’s debut.

Saab Wins More Green Awards

What Car? magazine has recently published it’s top ‘green’ cars and Saab got a double-nod for Best Compact Executive (Saab 9-3 TiD) and Best Executive and Luxury vehicle (Saab 9-5 Biopower).

This Saab has the potential to out-green any of the winners here…..It still emits carbon at the same rate as when it’s running on petrol, [...]

Exclusive Aero-X pics

Cheers to Djup Strupe for sending in these rather special Aero-X pics, which I’ve sized up for 1024 x 768 and 800 x 600 wallpapers.
These were shot at a press event for the Aero-X, I assume in the lead up to the Stockholm Motor Show, which starts April 1. Robert Collin, from Aftonbladet, has [...]

Diesel update

There’s nothing particularly hardcore about owning two Saabs, unless you’ve got to travel 2,000 kilometers to get them serviced!!
Danni owns two Saab 9-5’s and [...]

Saab vs Preconceptions

Not sure about the execution on this one, but an interesting ad for me nonetheless. This ad is from 1999 and ties in with the Saab Vs print ads (which are the single highest hit-getter on this site, bar none).
Another upload from Ryan and Saabvideos.com.
Enjoy.

Friday Night Snippets

OK, so which one of you black Saab drivers in California thought it was funny to frock up and get up to some mischief??

An unshaven man wearing a black evening gown, fishnet stockings, calf-high boots and a black wig robbed a USA Gas station earlier this week, police alleged.
The armed man stuffed $290 in cash [...]

For the record….

I’m going for Gonzaga.
a) it’s not far from Vancouver, my NA home. Well, closer than any other place that’s still in the NCAA tournament.
b) it’s the college home of one of the gutsiest and most enduring NBA players of all time, John Stockton
c) now that the Buckeyes are out, Dinger won’t get mad at [...]
