General Motors has just issued this video footage of the Saab Factory and Museum in Trollhattan.
As you might expect, Saab are in the news a bit at the moment given that they’re under strategic review. GM has issued this stock footage so that news outlets, etc, have current imagery to use for their news stories.
The film is silent, but it gives you a good look at the factory operations as they are right now. The installation of the dash is particularly interesting (I remember being wowed by it during my factory tour last year.)
The film goes for around six minutes in total. The first half covers the factory and the second half gives a brief look at some of the cars in the Saab Museum.
Enjoy!!

I’d like to place my vote once again for the Aero X’s 3-D Laser green dash for future SAABs! That is incredible! Why is that so hard to do? Any ideas anyone? I can’t believe that the SAAB brand is in trouble. They seem to be such an inspiring brand.

Watch the film at 4 min 37 sec. For some reason that view from behind of the Aero-X reminds me of the UrSaab. Never thought of that before.

I think the design of the rearlights of the Aero X looks just like the rearbumper of the UrSaab.
BTW: has anyone a close-up of the badge on the hood of the UrSaab?
