I don’t think I’ve ever featured a Mexican Saab review before.

If you can read Spanish then feel free to head to the source at El Universal and get all bilingual. If not, then you’re going to have to make do with this summary sent in by Joe Lobo, who lives in Sydney now but started life around those parts. Joe’s comments accompany in parenthesis.

“The new 9-3 Sports Sedan is a medium car with quality finishes well above the medium European vehicles in the US$40,890 sector”. (Isn’t this the very truth ???)

“Due to their Aeronautical heritage the execution of this vehicle in any type of road is extraordinary and of world class bringing it in par with the best sports sedan.” (Amazing statement)

“The combination of their new 4×4 traction with their 2.8 lt and over 255 hp integrate to make this vehicle one of the most exciting family vehicles in the market” (Amazing too)

“One of the many qualities in its simple design is the Scandinavian assembly of quality that is prevalent from any angle. The atmosphere of luxury in the interior with metal inserts and controls in the leathered steering wheel, two tone leather seats and an 11 speaker Bose Surround system.” (Well, there are some that appreciate)

“The comfort that offer the front seats allow these to be the one of the best available in any sports sedan as well as the position of these. Whilst there will be some that prefer harder seats that adhere and grab the body support deeper, these will have to incline to seats as found in German brands “. (The best of all in particular against the Teutons).

It seems the Mexicans like the Scandinavian stuff, eh? A good thing seeing they’ll be making some of it themselves soon!

It’s always good to get a fresh review from a new locale, especially when it’s as appreciative as this.

Thanks for sending it through, Joe!
