Could the 9-3 SportCombi be the best Saab ever?

OK, so they got the picture wrong…..but this review, and many others like it, rate the Saab 9-3 SportCombi pretty highly. There is absolutely no doubt in my mind that an Aero version of this car would be my model of choice were I to do 1,000,000 miles this year in a Saab I’d [...]

That Saab Blog

I found a Saab blog yesterday that I’d never seen before. The particularly interesting thing about it is that it’s written by a Saab dealer. And not just any Saab dealer, but America’s oldest dealership - Charles River Saab, of Watertown, Ma.

Interesting bits:
