We got a leak last month of the new Saab 9-5, but Saab has now bitten the bullet and decided to release details of the new 9-5 ahead of its launch next month at the Frankfurt Motor Show. The new 9-5 is a very big deal for Saab. In the midst of a takeover by […]
Christian von Koenigsegg talks Saab
Christian Von Koenigsegg is a man well known in petrolhead circles. His innovation and nous have taken him to the top of the tree of Hypercar makers, and we’ve applauded his innovation and entrepreneurial spirit on numerous occasions. But Christian is not a man who courts personal publicity. So it’s a sign of how important […]
Koenigsegg buys Saab – Deal done!
KoenigSaab is official. We knew back in June that Koenigsegg had signed a Memorandum of Understanding to buy Saab from beleaguered GM. But in the last week or so there have been rumblings that the deal may be in trouble after one of Koenigsegg’s investors sold their shares. But this morning comes official confirmation that […]
Saab 9-5 (2010) Leaked
The news about Saab of late has all been about the takeover of Saab by Koenigsegg. But all that will be pointless unless Saab has decent product to offer; product that offers true Saab values for the prospective car buyer. So the Saab 9-5 is an important car for Saab. We had what looked like […]
New Saab 9-5 Revealed
Well, it certainly looks like what we have here are the first leaked official shots of the new Saab 9-5. They’ve cropped up on the Saab United web site, and look pretty convincing to us. But they’re obviously not straight out of Saab – they look a little too ‘dirty’ to us – but these […]
Koenigsegg buys Saab – Confirmed
We’ve been running stories on the fate of Saab ever since GM’s trouble became apparent. First off it looked as if Fiat were at the head of the queue to take over Saab, but more recently we reported that Koenigsegg – the quirky Swedish Supercar maker – was in the running. That belief was compounded […]
Koenigsegg Saab – MOU signed?
We reported last week that one of the main potential buyers for Saab is reported to be Koenigsegg. Well, if reports coming in from a Swedish TV company are to be believed, Koenigsegg is almost past the post, squeezing out the other two players – the Renco Group and a bunch of guys from Wyoming. […]
KoenigSaab coming soon?
As GM’s problems continue to reverberate, with Fiat trying to get its hands on Opel and Vauxhall being promised aid by Lord Mandy if needs be (I’d get that in writing guys, if I were you), Saab and its future has been a little sidelined. It is thought that Fiat would like to gobble up […]
Saab 9-3X – UK Prices announced
We still don’t know what’s going to happen to Saab. According to recent reports, Fiat will take over Saab, but today there has been a denial of this by Saab’s boss, saying there are 10 suitors for Saab, none of whom are Fiat. We’ll have to wait and see. But Saab are still pushing forward, […]
Fiat Invades Europe! Aims to take over Opel, Vauxhall and Saab
Fiat are busy little bees of late. From being a virtually bankrupt car maker just a few years ago, they are busy rampaging around the world playing ‘White Knight’ to ailing car companies struggling for survival in the crisis that has engulfed the car world. Recently confirmed as the key component in the rescue of […]
