The Save Saab Campaign Video by David Blumberg below
The internet campaign to save Saab from GM’s clutches is now in full swing. We have a video and links to ‘I won’t buy from GM’.
We ran a report the other day on what we see as GM trying NOT to sell Saab. It seems as if they are intent on NOT agreeing a deal to save the Sad Swede and would rather see Saab whither on the vine. We speculated that could be for fear of competition from the seemingly excellent 2010 9-5 and ‘In-the-wings’ 9-4X. Or could it be that GM want to wind Saab down in Sweden only to resurrect it as badge-engineered GM product produced somewhere low-cost?
Whatever the reason the Saab fans around the world are united in their anger. On the report we ran a guy from an online campaign called ‘I won’t buy from GM’ left a comment encouraging like-minded people to sign up for their campaign to save Saab. The self same guy is also connected to the excellent Saabs United web site and is ramping up the pressure on GM to act honourably.
And now we have a Saab supporter – David Blumberg – putting together a video to show the car world what it will lose if Saab goes, complete with self-penned song as a soundtrack.
This is gaining momentum, and we have every sympathy with the cause. If you feel the same follow the link to ‘I won’t buy from GM‘ and lend your support.

Mitiche le Saab di un tempo! La “900? prima serie, ossia quella degli anni 80 era davvero unica! Ora invece la Saab, da quando è passata sotto la G.M., credo che abbia perso molto della personalità di quegli anni.
Ricordo intorno agli anni ‘81-’83, frequentavo gli ultimi anni delle scuole superiori e iniziavo a pianificare la mia vita pensando a quale facoltà e in quale università iscrivermi, e avevo una passione smodata per le automobili (che mi è rimasta tott’ora) e come riferimento automobilistico avevo la Saab 900 turbo, che dalle mie parti era una rarità, ma sulle riviste di auto era piuttosto famosa e ne seguivo le evoluzioni. Da allora è passato tanto, troppo, tempo!, ma quelle Saab non me le sono dimenticate! Purtroppo in giro non ve ne sono rimaste molte, ma restano delle auto uniche!!
