General Chrysler latest news
I’ve been trying to keep track of the situation with the General Motors and Chrysler, both to stay on top of what’s happening and also to see if there’s anything of partuclarly Saaby interest (which there isn’t).

Everyone’s got a story and the most credible ones are apparently telling theirs to Automotive News. In case some of this stuff is subscription only (as AN are sometimes wont to do), here’s the news.
I need some old Saabs!
I’ve just been going through the full stable of Saab Pride submissions. So far, we’ve got just over 80 vehicles in total, but I need to place a call for any and all owners of older Saabs to get them out of the garage and snap off some photos.
US dealers flogging courtesy cars as things get….touchy
As things get tighter, it’s amazing to see some of the deals popping up. There’s a huge loyalty bonus here in Oz, and over $10,000 off some 9-3s in the US.
Saab Pride - Michigan style
Did I ever say that Michigan was an ugly place?? Of course, I mean downtown Detroit, which from my experience wasn’t exactly Pleasantville. Here, Wulf brings us photographic proof that Michigan’s got a lot of different views. Oh, and then there’s his brilliant new 9-5 to go with it.
Who knows what - about the 2.1 Saab 900i??
I got an email from one of our Aussie Saabers, Bill, who’s come across a 900i in someone’s shed that he might be able to acquire at a good price. Bill lives on a rural property and is thinking of getting the car for his daughter, but he’s got a couple of questions first.

Can you help?

2009 Saab 9-3 Convertible - Spring Edition
The Spring Edition Saab 9-3 Convertible will make it’s worldwide debut next week, right here in Australia!
Saab ain’t quite GM’s minnow brand
As I fossicked through GM’s third quarter 2008 sales data last night, I had a Donald Rumsfeld moment. I realised that there was something that I didn’t know that I didn’t know.
.
I’ve always just assumed that Saab were GM’s smallest brand. Not so.
