In Sweden there is an open question that has been occupying the Saab scene for days. What happened to the Saab PhoeniX concept presented in Geneva in March 2011? It was the last big...

As always, you have to compliment the Saab Stammtisch Schleswig Holstein / Hamburg for the upcoming event. The choice of venues always fits the brand perfectly. Because Saab, these are both ...

If there were a Saab or two that I regret selling, the Turbo X would be one of them. You have to have ridden the black power pack at least once in your life. Even better -…

When I was young, I was fascinated by British vehicles, and the fascination didn't stop at roadsters either. A Triumph Spitfire was in the selection many years ago - against an MGB. Ultimately became...

Something unusual happened this week. There was a recent video to discover on social media. That came from Saab in Germany. To be specific, Saab AB is producing a short film with cars...

Our Saab T-shirts - Trollhättan born 1947 - can still be ordered up to and including Sunday. As requested by readers, we've added sizes M and S. In this variant, the shirt will only…

Of course there is always the worried look when you write primarily about Saab and the Saab scene for more than 10 years. There were times when things didn't look good for their future. The…

Lancia is coming back. To Germany and other European countries. Lancia was never gone in Italy, home was the last bastion where the traditional car brand was allowed to spend the winter. Under Stellanti’s direction, the…

Today we start the promised pre-order phase for our Saab T-Shirt - 1947 Trollhättan Born - in the Aero X Club Shop. In the next 14 days, until June 4th, the shirt can be bought in the shop…

Our Saab keychain collection is now (for now) complete. From the Saab 9-5 to the 9-3 and 9000, all important models are also covered with the new 900 key fob. Like the trailer for the 9000, so was…

Today, let's dive into a time when graphic artists designed car advertising on the drawing board. A few strokes are usually enough to create a meaningful advertising message. Although in 1962 advertising increasingly relied on photographic elements, Fiat…

Autobianchi is one of the car brands that are almost forgotten today. The end comes through the merger with Lancia within the Fiat group. From 1977, the Autobianchi label first disappears from export markets, years…

What makes a car desirable for a collection? The smallest possible, preferably limited, quantities are a prerequisite. High performance another. If it is the top model of the respective series, the demand increases...

It's pretty rare for an ad to trigger an immediate buying reflex. And even then, when it happens, a second glance gives the all-clear. On closer inspection, I discover rust, an unsightly repaint,...

Over the winter, the Saab 9000, the Swedish diva, has fared well except for a few bad tempers. Now he got a spring inspection, and some preventative maintenance. So that spring and summer with the classic Saab...

The 9000 travels in varying forms throughout the winter. Sometimes he gives the reliable Swedish car, a day later he shows his sensitive side. So far, however, every escapade of the old lady went by the name...

The time has come, the Saab 9-3 Aero is dismantled on the lift. Today is the big day, the dry ice blasting is coming up. The morning begins with a surprising question. Do you have hearing protection with you? The…

Our Saab 9-3 Aero workshop marathon is facing a far-reaching decision. We want to thoroughly renovate the body, and we want to do it sustainably. After the project is finished, there should be as little peace as possible – for many years. The…

It's always a problem with plans. A shaky one, because most of the time it doesn't work the way you want it to. Anyone who reads the pages here regularly will remember what was planned. Actually should…

Actually, we don't have too much free time. The Saabblog project is demanding, the editorial part wants to be fed again and again. But some ideas just have to be implemented. There's the Saab...

Door entry lights for the Saab 9000 listen to the Swedes on the name door safety lights. That goes without saying, right? The pioneers of vehicle safety from Trollhättan took some things very seriously. Entry lights would have sounded suspiciously like luxury...

The Saab 9-3 Aero Hirsch Performance (2001) is still in the workshop. We work our way from one construction site to the next, but without stress. What causes my heart rate to rise is much more...

There's a lot going on next weekend. In the Holstenhallen in Neumünster, Saab and Volvo lure visitors to visit their joint Sweden stand. The 7th Saab Saturday takes place in Hörstel-Riesenbeck and the program for Tom's…

The Saab tour through the Rhön is now one of the fixed dates in the annual planner. The trip is familiar, it is lovingly planned, and participation is quickly booked out. Thomas Zecher, the organizer, also invites this…
