The reborn Saab are bringing the first electric Saab to the Paris Motor Show – the Saab 9-3 ePower – which will lead to a Swedish test fleet of 70 cars in 2011. It’s great to see Saab back doing what a car maker should be doing, instead of fighting for survival under the cosh of the […]
Saab 9-5 & Saab 9-3 (2011) get new engines
Saab has announced new engines for the Saab 9-3 and Saab 9-5, some specification tweaks and XWD for the first time on a diesel. I can’t remember the last time we got a refresh for an existing Saab model, so convoluted has been Saab’s existence over the last year or two. So it’s quite nice […]
Saab 9-5: The marketing begins
Saab are about to start a £100 million marketing blitz for the new Saab 9-5 as it goes on sale this weekend in Sweden. First Spyker had to get control of Saab from GM. Which after a few false starts it did. Then it had to get production up and running in Trollhatten on the 2010 […]
Saab 9-5 (2010) track test video
Saab has sent us a video of the 2010 Saab 9-5 out on track in Sweden. Car looks good. Commentary’s a bit dull. Still, better than the other way round. Saab are trying hard. They’ve had a pretty awful time of it under GM and are no doubt pleased to still be in existence and […]

New Saab 9-5 (2010): Tons of detail +video
We asked Saab for more on the new 2010 9-5. They sent us a huge press release with lots of detail, but didn’t answer the questions we asked. Oh, well. The start of 2010 saw a flurry of stories on Saab as the battle lines were drawn to see who would grab control of GM’s troublesome Swede. […]
Spyker network grows through Saab
Victor Muller is growing the Spyker dealer network by adding Spyker franchises at suitable Saab dealerships. The network will grow to 90 by 2011. Victor Muller has been a very busy boy this last six months in his quest to take control of Saab. So you may be forgiven for thinking that the company that […]

Saab production starts – 2010 Saab 9-5 first off the line
Production at Saab has now restarted under the ownership of Spyker, with a 2010 Saab 9-5 being the first off the production line today. It’s been a long and sometimes fraught road back to production for Saab. Almost sinking in to oblivion after GM decided to wind it down after failing to secure a buyer who would […]
