Just dropped off my Saab this morning for service. HUMMERS ALL OVER THE PLACE. MY CAR LOOKED OUT OF PLACE.

The dealer sold 10 Saabs for the MONTH… WOW.
Swade, I don’t think the Eos comes close the Saab. Does it? I have never been in one.

Please Mr Obama.. Do something drastic. Unfortunatly the rest of the world depend on the US and if your economy is good the rest of the world (atleast the west) thrives and buy alot of stuff.. Amongst that stuff new Saabs, Holdens etc etc.

If the Oz dollar stays where it is, sales of Cadillacs and Hummers in Australia will make Saab sales look truly fantastic. It’s a pity that what was once Saab Australia will have to carry all that dead wood as well.

I feel for the Saab Australia staff.

I know that they are working the soles off down there..

3 car brands on the amount of staff they have is AMAZING!!

Heads up kids..

Grim times indeed Swade. Not helped by several other companies now offering 0% finance.Well there’s always the old saying:

In the darkest hour, the great avenger is being born.

Heres hoping things pick up for Saab and all the dedicated folks who are working to make a difference. Great time to buy a new Saab in Australia everyone, tell your friends.

oh dear, out of those 26 sales our dealership did 5 of them.

That probably makes us the number 1 Saab dealer in Australia.

WOOT!

Not.

Ouch. I dread to think what the sales were like over here in NZ. We’re an appendage of Saab Oz so I bet it isn’t pretty. There’s a Turbo X sitting on one of the popular auction sites here, if anyone wants to pay that kind of money for it…

We had a new (sole) dealer appointed this year for the South Island. I wonder if they’re having fun yet Ironically the previous dealer is a Volkswagen dealer
