Saab Design Appreciated

This via Autoblog.
I can’t find the actual link on JD Power to see what Saab models did well, but the chart below shows that Saab’s design language is appreciated by customers. A reasonable distance above the industry average, too.
The impression given in the writeup is that new design and therefore those companies that can [...]

EOFY Snippets

It’s the end of June, the end of the financial year (here in Oz at least) and, in completely unrelated news, the end of Alfablogger. I just can’t put the time into it that I’d like to, so it’s up for grabs (very cheap) until the end of July. If anyone’s got an [...]

Viggen on video

This is an old dealer training video on the Saab 9-3 Viggen. Once you can get the cheezy flight suit crapola out of your head, it’s actually a pretty good illustration of the differences and characteristics of the car.

More UK show stuff - incl Goodwood

As mentioned yesterday, Saab will debut the bigger 2.3l Biopower 9-5 at the British Motor Show in London next month. In addition, they’ll also be showing off the 9-3 Biopower Hybrid Convertible (don’t mention the plug!! I mentioned it once, but I think I got away with it)……and the Aero-X.
It’s a barnstorming Biopower [...]

Jalopnik podcast the pimped 9-7x

Jalopnik have covered the pimped 9-7x both on their blog, and in their daily podcast that also features Robert Farago of The Truth About Cars.
Their verdict: They like it. I’m not sure about whether they like the fact that they like it, but like it they do.
The podcast also goes into how Saab diehards [...]

Pimp my 9-7x

The 9-7x is being pimped up by the gents at Speedparts and a little digging has found a projekt page on the Speedparts site. There’s nothing in the way of development detail there yet, [...]
