Please join us at Saabs United and get your daily Saab fix from Saab sources all around the world.
It’s good to see plenty of coverage in the MSM about the 9-3 Convertible’s latest crash test news.
It has been all over the place, from Consumer Reports (gotta get them on side) to Edmunds and all points in between.

Whilst I was travelling and getting over travelling, Saab put out a press release announcing Erik Carlsson’s top 6 – one car from each decade in Saab’s 60 years so far.
Ryan’s got the full press release with Carlsson’s thoughts here, but here’s the list in point form:
From the 1950’s – Saab 92
From the 1960s – Saab 96
From the 1970s – Saab 99 Turbo
From the 1980s – Saab 900 Convertible
From the 1990s – Saab 9000 Aero
From the 2000s – Saab Aero-X

Saaboy: The Viggen was up against the AeroX — pretty tough one to beat.
Saab convertibles rule!
And MY car made Mr. Carlsson’s list. I’m feeling pretty superior right now.

Yet another snippet:
Steve Shannon has gotten swade’s message as reported in the Boston Globe:
“A blogger, I think he was from Tasmania, immediately made a post on behalf of Saab owners,” Shannon said. “The gist was, ‘You’re working for us now, and you better take care of our baby.’ ”
