Bloomberg News on the TurboX — More of the same

This just in from Jan-Willem Vester over at Saab USA HQ.

Bloomberg has managed to pull out just about every hackneyed Swedish / Saab reference in the book while delivering a very forgettable, shallow review of the TurboX. It’s almost like Mr. Harper, the author, wrote the article to fill it with cute phrases rather than to give anyone a realistic take on the TurboX.

Read at your own risk.

  1. Exactly. I am willing to let people have opinions, even opinions I don’t agree with, but when he cited the seats as uncomfortable I new we had a problem.

  2. Wow. Guys, I had the same thought. However, he clearly says that he drove the car in New England for the weekend. It’s hard to call someone a liar, but I’m with you — did he really drive the car? Junk.

  3. Ah yes, I read this a couple of days ago.
    I thoughts entirely; Jason Harper must be over 7′ tall with a 26″ inside leg. How the man can walk without falling over is beyond me but having such a large torso is the only way he can justify hitting his head off the roof yet praise the rear seating capacity.

    I know MAC books are very user friendly but I didn’t realise even an orangutan could operate one. Which is another explanation for the drivel that Bloomberg felt fit to publish.

  4. As soon as the first ABBA reference appears in a Saab review you know the authors credibility has been compromised. If I were trying to be polite I’d say the review was less than insightful and a disservice to Saab. In this case I’d have to say the author is suffering from complete ossification of the cranial aperture. This guy couldn’t tell a Rembrandt from the top of a biscuit box.

  5. Guys, it’s Bloomberg. If they had a clue, they’d be writing for somebody else. Their financial advice is for shite, why would you suspect that they have a clue about anything else?

    /smack forehead.

  6. On something different that has been discussed on this site in the past….

    Saab in Canada now lowered their priced by 6K or so after a few months of terrible sales. The 9-3 now starts at $29950…

  7. cj, where did you hear about the Canada price reductions? This could definitely make me haed to my local dealer. Whats the catch?
