Comments on: Want your Aero-X in black? http://www.trollhattansaab.net/archives/2008/11/want-your-aero-x-in-black.html Saab 9-1, 9-3, 9-4x, 9-5, 9-7x News Thu, 11 Dec 2008 06:34:22 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.2.1 By: Ron57RC http://www.trollhattansaab.net/archives/2008/11/want-your-aero-x-in-black.html#comment-55403 Ron57RC Tue, 04 Nov 2008 09:07:24 +0000 http://www.trollhattansaab.net/?p=9684#comment-55403 On the models subject; I recently visited Desenzano, Lake Garda, Italy and having bought a 9-3ss Vector 1.9 TiD (150 bhp) MY06 at the end of July, took a look in the Model Store which I came across there. I saw and purchased a Universal Hobbies 1:43 scale model; the label on the box has it as "SAAB 9-3 2002, 4 doors - Metallic Red, Item 2381". According to the shopkeeper it's also available in Silver or Black. It looks remarkably like the Performance Team model available on the elkparts site - only minus the logo. I bought it for 24 euro which at the time was roughly £19.80 GBP which works out about even with elkparts current offer of two for £41.99 GBP. On closer inspection the model is badged 2.0T, but since body style and wheels match my car I can live with that. I was considering the black version as it would be nearer to mine which is Nocturne Blue. It may be a site you are already aware of, but being new here I'll risk going over old news. At <a href="null" rel="nofollow">http://jpowell.tripod.com/saab-models-toys/</a> there is a pretty comprehensive list of SAAB models and toys. Admittedly it was last updated November 2005, but up to that date it seems pretty comprehensive.

Like, red for Alfa Romeo or green for a Jaguar... If so, what is it? If not, what should it be? I try to think of what color I associate with Saab here in Sweden over the decades, but can't think of any specific. Is there a signature color for Saab?
