Great collection of stuff.

The article comparing the Chevy Citation X11 to the Saab 900 Turbo is a bit of a laugh in hindsight, but it points out a difference between US car buyers and European car buyers — that Americans are willing to put up with a little lack of refinement if the performance and price are right. Interesting.

Heh, I tought I would have seen and known of every saab model by now, efter all there isn’t that many…, this secret, however, seems to have been buried though, rightly so .

Johan: good eye! I’ve never seen such a thing. You’re right. It appears to be a Swedish Domestic Market-only Combi version of the C900! Now I see why they weren’t exported. It definitely would make it onto a list of the “ugliest cars ever”! Did you see any of these at the SAAB Festival in Sweden, Swade? In the museum, maybe?

I wonder how many man hours have been spent worldwide digitizing Saab media. Ryan at Saabhistory has spent a huge amount of time on videos and other stuff. I once got a vintage parts fiche, took 544 photos of my microfiche reader screen, manually edited each photo, and created an online html vintage Saab parts fiche. Now I’ve gotten an NOS set of the same fiche in much better condition, and may do it over again. Talk about time killers

Absolutely brilliant.
Well done.
(I played myself with the idea digitalising all my saab-stuff, but nor do i have so much material nor the time to do it).

WOW, that must have taken ages, I know it took a while just doing those few I sent over the other day. Well done Xerofusi, I think that page is going in the favorites.
