When you KNOW you better be wary of a review

This isn’t actually a review. It’s more of a “hey, this car exists” piece.
But you know you’ve gotta be wary when it starts like this:

WHEN the Saab 9-3 was launched, it looked so like the old 900 I thought it was just a quick warm over and was gobsmacked to find it was a [...]

Note to Saab: opportunity missed?

I’ve had three different people mail in some screenshots in the last week showing some ads they’ve seen on the web, on this site and on another.
First up, from ctm in Sweden:

Whilst I’m loathe to make any jokes where the word suicide is mentioned, the idea of killing Hummers does have a certain appeal. [...]

Saab Wallpaper No. 9

It’s time for another custom Saab Wallpaper!
This one’s available in a medium format widescreen - 1280 x 800 pixels.
It’s been supplied by Adrian E in the US. He saw the tagline some time ago and decided to make something up based on it. It’s a perfect image for the purpose, if you ask [...]

Neo Bros will be driving a MY2000 Saab 9-3. Last year they participated in an event called Euro Enduro….

This car took part in the 2006 Euro Enduro competition and more information can [...]

Wednesday Snippets

Saffron Yellow it is!
I’ve just seen some internal GM bizzo that indicates the color Saffron Yellow will indeed be coming and I’d therefore take an educated guess and say that it’s the new Convertible color that’ll be announced later.

There’s been a wildfire going around the automotoblogoshere in the last 24 hours. It’s [...]

87 model 9000 needs help

One of those things noted in studies about ‘brand communities’ was that Saab drivers would often wave to other Saab drivers and it wasn’t uncommon for a Saab driver to stop and help another Saab driver in distress.
I don’t think those elements are as strong these days, but if you live in or near Akron, [...]
