Business Week and the 9-3SC

A question for 9-3 SportCombi owners - do you see the lack of 3rd row seating as a downside?
Why?
Well, BusinessWeek does.
It’s statements like this that make me question the validity of the rest of the review - which would be a shame as our host, Thane Peterson, really likes the SportCombi. So [...]

Saab at Geneva

In comments to a MY2008 9-3 posting the other day, OLW noted that Saab were planning a world premiere at Geneva. A quick look a the GM-Saab Geneva website indicates that this is indeed the case.

Saab will be hosting a BioPower Breakfast at 7:30am on Tuesday March 6 and included in the buffet are [...]

Some more MY2008 9-3 Snippets

Djup Strupe’s at it again…..
I’ve received some more confirmation about options to be offered with the MY2008 9-3.

9-3 Trim Query

At this point he’s thinking of bespoke mirror casings and rear spoilers in either a chrome or carbon-fibre effect. If some interest is piqued, he’ll think about moving on to some more complex [...]

People even organise festivals about the stuff, and Saab are [...]

Monday Snippets

Million mile Saab 900 owner, Peter Gilbert, is apparently going to receive his new replacement from Saab USA this week, a 9-5 Aero.
The new wheels will be handed over on Wednesday according to the Freep, and if my memory serves me correctly he’ll be getting it at Road Atlanta where he’ll participate in the Aero [...]

The 9-7x - This is why they did it…

No words from me necessary here. I’ll let David C tell the story….

Hello Swade!
Feel free to post this in the 9-7x section at TrollhattanSaab.net…edit as you see fit!
We’ve just become a two-Saab family! A 2006 9-7x now keeps our 2006 9-5 company in the garage. If you had told me Friday morning [...]

A Man’s Game

Nothing Saaby here, just a post to note the start of the football season here in Australia. Australian rules football is, by far, the greatest game known to mankind. I was born and raised in Melbourne, which is also where the game was born and it’s something very close to religion there. [...]
