End of the Canada Trip megasnippets

We’ve come to the end of another fantastic Canadian holiday and I’m a little sorry that it overwhelmed content here in the last few weeks, but such is the way of these things.

Lance, I’ve got your emails and will get back to you as soon as I land in Oz.

So, on to some Saaby topics before I pack up the laptop and head upstairs to pack my bags and leave the northern hemishere.

News from the 2008 Saab Owners Convention

The 2008 Saab Owners Convention has been taking place this weekend in Devens, Mass, and whilst I couldn’t be there and didn’t ask anyone to do anything on TS’s behalf, Alexandre was kind enough to take some notes and pass them on.
.
Notes include info on the Saab 9-1, TTiD for the US, engines in the 9-4x and a little on the 9-5. I’ve also thrown in a link to some initial images that have been posted.

GM to build Saab in North America? Not the 9-4x?

Several news agencies are reporting a double-pronged story: that GM has buyers lined up for HUMMER, and that Saab are here to stay and a future Saab may be built in North America.

Is Mexico in North America? If not, then what’s Rick Wagoner talking about?

Saab at the London Motor Show

It’s definitely looking like Paris for the Saab 9-3x allroader. Saab’s presence at the London Motor Show will be reasonably subdued. The “news” for the show is the already-known addition of XWD to the four-cylinder range for the Saab 9-3. The 9-X BioHybrid and Saab 9-4x BioPower Concept vehicles will be there to lend some interest for the local enthusiasts. Click through for the official London press release….

Saab 9-4x concept VS Saab 9-4x

GM released a small-ish and disproportional image of the Saab 9-4x by GM last week. Small-ish and disproportional it may be, but it gives us that all-important point of comparison against the vehicle we have seen for real - the Saab 9-4x concept.

Turbin’s given the new image a little nudge to get it back into perspective and he’s also dug out a concept picture with the vehicle set at a similar angle.
