Saab BioPower US opportunities
I recently wrote up the opportunity that’s currently popping up in Europe’s professional cycling tour for Saab to take up sponsorship of a team there. Whether it’d ever be a realistic opportunity or shot down in flames is another matter, but it was fun exploring the idea and I really do think it has [...]
2008 Saab 9-3 quick review
I’ve never heard of a place called Waxahachie and I could make an educated guess that it’s not on SaabUSA’s list of Saab hotspots. But maybe it will be.

UPDATE: thanks to Albert, in comments, it’s apparent that the writer from Auto Motor and Sport either mis-translated the article, or added some stuff in that wasn’t in the original German report.

I wrote in comments earlier today that this deserves it’s own post right here at the front page of the blog.
And here it is.

CAD/USD parity - What are Saab Canada gonna do?
Autoblog have a story on site today about a class action lawsuit being prepared in Canada. It’s being brought by a Canadian law firm on behalf of four customers, but is open to anyone that wishes to join and it’d be party time if they won as they’re suing for $2 Billion. They’re [...]
