Saab 9-4x - what we know so far
The 9-4x is widely believed to be due for unveiling, at least in a pre-production or concept form, at the Detroit Auto Show in January 2008 - around six weeks from now.
I’ve been covering the various bits of news as they pop up, so with the public debut so close I thought it high time [...]
Saab 9-4x - Hands up if you want one?
In just one month and ten days I’ll be jumping on a plane and flying, coat and gun in hand, to Detroit.
Saab WILL have some new product there to look at and the smart money is wagered on it being the 9-4x crossover vehicle. It’s got to be either that or the new 9-5. [...]
Saab Pride of Ownership - Spanish Style
It’s time for another post in the Saab pride of ownership competition.
This one’s from Andreas and whilst he lives in Switzerland we’re heading off with him to sunny Spain in a very, very nice convertible.

The attached picture was taken in summer 2007 at my favourite place near Valencia in Spain (sorry, not exactly where I [...]

If you’v got multiple great shots of your Saab in a great location, then send them through. The one condition, however, is that if they’re in different locations, then you [...]
True Delta - Vehicle Reliability Research
It’s been quite a while since I posted on this issue, but Michael Karesh runs a vehicle reliability research center in the US called True Delta.
The big player in vehicle reliability rating is, of course, Consumer Reports. Whilst the Saab 9-3 is now rating better in their reliability data it doesn’t stop me from [...]
EnG Saab Shopping - The Agony of Defeat
Well.
I’m.
So.
Deflated.
In the last post in a comment I indicated that there was a new lead on a great car.
Unfortunately, I had no idea that at that very moment, the car had already been sold. The small specialty dealer was in the process of selling it to one customer as I was speaking to another [...]
Another Saab XWD video
I’ve had a couple of links come through via email to this video overnight. Thanks to all who sent them through.
You’ve all probably seen the video I shot with Kenneth Backlund from the Saab Performance Team at the 9-3 launch event in Sweden back in June.
This new video was also shot at the same [...]
Do you have a Saab dream?
Right now, in my garage, I have what many might consider a Saab nightmare: a crashed Viggen and a reluctant insurance company.
But I also have a Saab dream. I have several of them, actually.
I’d like to work for them in a constructive manner for starters. My day job’s about as exciting as a [...]
