Turbo X to go on show in Zurich

The Zurich Motor Show is on next month (there’s still an hour of October left as I write this).
It’s on from November 1st to the November 4th.
I’ve just received a note to say hat the Turbo X has just arrived at the venue for the setup there.
The Zurich Motor Show is the second biggest show [...]

Saab atop Gaywheels listings again

Just a quick note to - um - note that the Saab 9-3 was, for the third quarter in a row, the second most researched car at Gaywheels.com.
With the recent run in a 9-3 convertible by the gay rally team in the Fireball run, I’d have thought that maybe they’d top the list. Alas, [...]

Detroit News test the 2008 9-3 SportCombi

SportCombi owners - I’d like you to read this review, then smile. Then print this review and pass it out to anyone who asks about your car. Even those who don’t ask about it - give one to them too. Use the “Share this” button at the bottom of this post to [...]

That new 9-3 ad - what the creators think….

Say you’re given a job: to do an ad that shows the transformation of one model generation to the next. There’s a strong ‘Jets’ element in previous campaigns, which your client would like you to preserve.
I presume that’s the way it went down.
What we all ended up with was the new Saab 9-3 ad. [...]

Saaby Halloween!

This one came through from RJ, but was actually done by a Viggen owning friend of his.
Apparently he’s got a bit of an artistic flare, which you can check out at his website (great stuff!).
A safe, happy and not too scary Halloween to all of you!

Wednesday Snippets

Still sick. Today’s DVDs - more Seinfeld and perhaps JFK.

Mini are thinking of building an SUV (can they still call it Mini?) and Cadillac are thinking of a small RWD car for Europe.
This is the world we are living in. Saab, please keep doing what you do best.

NY Daily News invents and reviews its own Saab

This is the epitome of a mixed review.
I don’t know if it’s a type, or if this guy didn’t read the paperwork, but apparently he’s reviewing a 2.9 litre, 4 cylinder Saab 9-3. The “9″ key is between the “0″ and he “8″, so he could be in either, but given that he does [...]

Maybe Saab IS at SEMA after all….

After showing the 9-7x Aero concept at SEMA last year, Saab is absent from the aftermarket show this year, which doesn’t disappoint too many people.
But perhaps Saab are there in spirit.
This Chevy hotrod is powered by a 2.0 litre Ecotec engine running on E85 and is tuned to produce 500hp. An Ecotec 2-litre E85 [...]
