Here’s another video produced by Widde, who recently provided us with a Turbo X video as well as a review of his drive of the Turbo X.
Whilst at the drive event, Widde also drove an XWD Aero and pieced together this highlights video.
If you haven’t seen or read Widde’s previous contributions from this trip, I’d highly recommend that you do at the following link: Turbo X vs Aero XWD – The drive
Here’s the Aero XWD video. Thanks again to Widde for sending it through!
Back in January, I was very fortunate to hitch a ride with 1985Gripen up to Santa Barbara and spend the afternoon with Mr Robert J Sinclair.
Uncle Bob.
Unfortunately I was so taken in by the moment that I didn’t record a thing at that time. We chatted for over three hours about all things Saab and it was quite possibly the highlight of my US trip.
Bob was the former head of what’s now known as SaabUSA and served in that position from 1979 until 1991. That was his second stint with Saab.
I wanted the chance to interview him so that I could present some of his story for the wider Saab community. I wanted to interview him this month in particular as March 2008 means it’s 50 years since he first joined Saab as a guy in his mid-20′s.
The interview goes for 45 minutes. Sit back, make a cuppa while you let it load, and enjoy the story of a true Saab pioneer.
Bob’s a blast to talk to and I thank him sincerely for his time.

NOTE: This was recorded using Skype and there’s a couple of moments of interference in there. I think you’ll get the gist of what was said, however.
Also, the Google Video doesn’t seem to be playing the last 6 minutes of the interview. I’ve made a second movie now so that the final minutes aren’t missed.
The following is a video shot recently in northern Sweden. It’s the Turbo X and Aero XWD versions of the Saab 9-3 being shown off a little and it’s just awesome. The circle-work is something to behold, as is the soundtrack 
Congrats to 900Aerocom for shooting it, and thanks to Tobias for the link.
If you’ve got one on order, smile……
There were a few guys at the Geneva show on behalf of Trollhattan Saab. Marcel and Gian-Luca walked the floor and got us some of the first live pictures from the event.
We’ve also seen edited videos from GM. Here’s some fuller video of the presentations made on the night. My thanks to Marcel for sending them on.
First, we have Bob Lutz:

Then the reveal of the car. Finally, we get to hear what the guitarist in the photos was playing…..

And finally, Mark Adams speaks about the car….

This video gathers a few comments from some of the Saab execs you don’t necessarily hear too much from.
A nice out-take at the end, too. Note that Mark Adams is a designer and not an accountant
GM Europe popped this one into my inbox overnight.
Here’s an edited clip of the reveal and a few of the speakers appearing there in Geneva.
Thanks to Tompa for the link.
Here’s the official video by Lowe Brindfors for the Saab 9-X BioHybrid. A lot of cgi animation, but looks good.
Enjoy.

Not a new video, by any means. But beautiful to watch. This is classic Saab:
