Saab 9-4X Revealed
Saab has revealed the Saab 9-4X Crossover / SUV ahead of its public debut at the Los Angeles Motor Show in November. It’s nice to see that Saab are getting back to being a maker of cars rather than a pawn of GM, and the reveal this afternoon of the Saab 9-4X marks the second […]

The Saab 9-4X SUV / Crossover will make its production ready debut at the LA Auto Show in November. Eighteen months ago we reported that the Saab 9-4X was getting close to production. Of course, since that report in February 2009 Saab has been a bit busy escaping the clutches of GM, but has now […]

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 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.
