More Saab XWD video from Kiruna



Australia’s online motoring news magazine, Drive, has just put it’s video from this year’s Ice Experience onto their website.

They cover the whole trip, right from their transportation to the Ice Hotel by dogsled, calling it the ultimate in low-emissions transport. Funny, but I’ve heard that being behind a pack of sled dogs is far from what you’d call a “low emissions” experience :-)

The important stuff is concerned with the driving, however, where it’s noted that the open track is pretty ideal as you can be a “complete and utter knob” and not do any damage to the car or yourself.

So Australian!

Unfortunately, I don’t seem to be able to get more than half way through the video, at which point it gives up on me. They start with XWD Aero Sport Combis, however I believe they cover a few laps of the circuit in Turbo X’s as well.

I’m going to go and try the video again. Maybe you’ll have more luck. From what I saw they seemed to like the new system a great deal.

      The whole video does work (you need a fast connection I guess). Towards the end of the video they ride some 4 wheel drive buggies, and then they do ride in the Turbo X. They clearly like the 9-3 and I think that all reviewers who were lucky enough to go to the ice hotel had a great time - this will certainly help Saab in Marketing the XWD because I don’t think it was possible for a reviewer to thnk anything bad about it given the circumstances!
      ps - I have my Turbo X Sprort Combi on ORDER (San Diego). Expected delivery - 2nd week of June 2008. Gulp.
