Edmunds review the 2008 Saab 9-3

Well, it had to happened some time. A non-glowing review of the 2008 Saab 9-3.
And wouldn’t you know it, it’s one of the serious car sites. Edmunds.com.
It wasn’t all bad news. They like the refreshed look, the quietness, the steering and they go so far as to call it “one [...]

Saab: Nothing on Earth comes close

Here’s one I hadn’t seen before.
Did they do this one too early? How good would it have looked with a 1988 Aero in full kit with whale tail etc?

A head-on collision south of Manotick Friday night created a scene of carnage with one elderly woman and a dog dead, two people trapped for more than 30 minutes and a driver flung from [...]

Classy Black Saab 900 Saab O The Week

I’m not normally into all blacked-out cars and I’m definitely not normally into black wheels, but everything on this car just seems to …. work.
The car belongs to Flickr user “Daniel_Swe” and I picked this up on my Flickr Feed. There’s a few more photos of it here, as well as a few other [...]

More on that Saab hybrid business….

There was an article published here during the week that was, well, not quite as accurate as it could have been. I covered it as it appeared to be the first article on the topic that I got access to. But it seems that the writer of the article may have either added [...]

Born from Jets invades my inbox

Yep, the Born from Jets campaign got a little personal today.
Saab e-mailed me my own personal invitation to view the 2008 Saab Line-up.
The good news:

Progressive Scandinavian design. Turbocharged performance. Premium standard features.
I like it. Direct and to the point, it sums [...]
