First Saab Automobile Among the 123 Cars Being Sold From Saab?s Museum
2012-01-24 15:00:00 It's a wrap. India's Tata, ostensibly the savior of Jaguar, has been sniffing around Saab a little, but that's a faint hope at best for the brand.

Hot News: Saab Halts Production
2009-02-26 15:27:00 The production line at Saab's Trollhattan plant has come to a screeching halt today, following allegations from the Swedish Customs agency that the automaker has unpaid customs duties, reports say. Swedish authorities have put a hold on shipments to and from the recently bankrupted automaker, leaving the Trollhattan plant short of some crucial parts needed for vehicles currently being assembled.Saab's production manager Gunnar Brunius, speaking with news agency TT has confirmed that production has ceased after the plant ran out of parts needed to build its vehicles. Still, Brunius said that he expects production to commence tomorrow as the issue is likely to be resolved over the course of the evening.Swedish Customs representative Hans Ohlsson told reporters that Saab owes a "considerable" amount of money in back customs duties and that all goods arriving at Saab from outside of the European Union would be held until the duties are paid.

New emissions rules may force next gen Saab 9-3 to grow smaller
2008-05-09 21:34:00 Upcoming fuel economy regulations in the U.S. and carbon dioxide emissions limits in Europe appear set to take a bite out of the next generation Saab 9-3. The current 9-3 is derived from GM's Epsilon platform and the new 9-3 was due to come off the Epsilon II that underpins the new Opel Insignia, but a change may be in the works. GM has reportedly canceled the Epsilon II-based 9-3 in favor of a model built off the Global Compact Car platform that will be the basis of the next Astra/Cobalt and, of course, the Volt. If the new plan, proceeds that would give Saab two cars off the new chassis with the smaller 9-1 being the other. New structural construction technology in the new architecture will apparently help maximize interior space in the smaller car.[Source: Autocar]
Report: GM/Saab used human cadavers for crash tests
2008-05-09 01:09:00 Report: GM/Saab used human cadavers for crash tests General Motors' Saab division purportedly used human bodies donated to science in crash tests, according to a Swedish newspaper. "For certain things, it?s important to use cadavers," Claes Tingvall of the Swedish Road Administration told Expressen. Mr. Tingvall said the tests involved "people who had donated their own bodies." He said using real bodies helps develop better crash dummies and, not surprisingly, provides the best possible idea of what would happen to a living human in a crash. GM used a total of ten cadavers for the project, according to Tingvall. Saab would not confirm or deny the reports. "We conduct our own research and try to find other methods to achieve our results, with the help of computers, for example,? said Saab spokesperson Christer Nilsson. "We are with GM through thick and thin," Nilsson told the newspaper.

2008 Saab Turbo X Hits The Track
2008-04-18 06:15:00 We'd read somewhere that at the height of the Cold War, the U.S. locked in the struggle against the evil Commies, Sweden was considered as a potential candidate for location of a Northern European base for F-117A Night Hawk Stealth fighters. Obviously that didn't happen as the decision was made to base all 59 of the arrow-headed black-as-night fighters stateside at Holloman Air Force Base after testing completed at the Toponah test range. And now, well, now they've all been retired. But we're going to imagine for a moment that maybe a couple of them were sent over to Sweden for some leave time. It's the only way we're able to explain the 2008 Saab Turbo X ? because if Saab claims they're born from jets, we're of the impression this jet-black baby meatball's daddy has to be an F-117A.

Early look: 2010 Saab 9-5 sedan illustrated
2008-04-17 07:21:00 Early look: 2010 Saab 9-5 sedan illustrated Some time next year, Swedish automaker Saab will begin production of a redesigned 9-5 Sedan. For the 2010 model year, the all-new 9-5 will take on an Aero-X-inspired look, while building on the existing model's somewhat angular roofline. Saab general manager Steve Shannon recently told dealers the company would reveal the new 9-5 later this year at a major auto show, according to trade publication Automotive News. Saab enthusiast website Trollhattan Saab has speculated the most likely venue is the 2008 Paris Motor Show in October. Also according to the website, the new model will have larger engines, increased overall dimensions, and will be a "true flagship" for the automaker. Some reports indicate the range-topping model will have up to 350 horsepower. The new 9-5 will ride on a modified version of GM?s Epsilon II platform, which also underpins the new Saturn Aura. Expect it to have firmer suspension, improve...

2010 Saab 9-4X [Spied]
2008-04-11 22:59:00 2010 Saab 9-4X [Spied] Spy photographers have captured the first images of a Saab 9-4X prototype while undergoing testing. We first saw a preview for the upcoming crossover in the form of the 9-4X BioPower Concept, and from the looks of the prototype, the road-going version won't deviate too much from the show car. The 9-4X is being developed under the codename GMT168 and should come to market by the 2010 model year. As we have reported before, the 9-4X will share its underpinnings with the upcoming Cadillac BRX and will be produced in Mexico. Unlike the current 9-7X, the 9-4X will be sold worldwide. The 9-4X is essentially Saab's first true crossover SUV. It will effectively accomplish what the cancelled 9-6X was intended to do — compete with the Volvo XC90 and other European midsize crossovers. It will be built on the Theta Premium platform, which will also be used for the Cadillac BRX. The architecture features four-wheel independent suspension and a ...

Saab 9-3 Aero wagon Drive Test
2008-04-09 17:10:00 RICHARD BLACKBURN discovers the merit of anti-lock brakes and electronic stability control in frozen Sweden. Want ice with that? A distant growl grabs the attention of our slightly dishevelled group of motoring journalists as they huddle together expectantly on a frozen lake in the north of Sweden. The growl isn't from a polar bear but something potentially just as menacing - three black turbocharged Saabs hurtling towards us at breakneck speed, exhausts popping and belching as their drivers charge through the gears. They slide to a halt in front of our group, kicking up an icy shower of snow. Moments later, a Saab official ushers me into the welcome warmth of one of the cars' passenger seats. Behind the wheel I find a round-faced, jovial Scandinavian in his 60s. He looks like a clean-shaven version of Santa Claus and has the bright-red suit to match, but looks can be deceiving. A stab on the throttle, another shower of Arctic ice and we're off into the inky blackness...
