SaabBlog News & Swedish Cars

The news from Sweden is bad because the company is not doing well. Orio AB, which emerged from Saab Automobile Parts AB, is heading into an unclear future. 10 years after the end of automobile production, sales drop sharply. To

When a car is a slim 23 years old, it can have a problem every now and then. The smell of cooling water that the Saab 9000 spread in the interior was noticeable. The cause remained a mystery at first, because it was a good year ago

Actually, I would have been out this weekend. The traditional Saab meeting at the Hamburg Oldie Tanke was on the agenda. As always on the first weekend in May. Booked with hope in mind, knowing that a cancellation would be more likely than

Without a little teaser, I can't let the readers off into the weekend. Our “Min riktika bil är en Saab” stickers 2.0 are in production. We do the printing and as promised it will be the glue in many colors

Saab and culture. Today I discover a cool Saab Diesel with automatic and spoil the readers with Spanish culture. There is a lot of that to see here. The Sagrada Familia, the Ramblas, Gaudi, the Gothic Quarter, the Cathedral, "La Boqueria"

Many of us know a place that we like to return to again and again, or even dream of living there. I had the luck. During some vacations, I fell in love with the unique charm of the place, and I've lived on the edge for many years

Things change. My parking situation, which was very comfortable for years, has deteriorated dramatically. Volvo excavators do their laps where my Saab once stood. The carport is past, the access to the small hall number 2 is cut off, and

The Saab 9000 spent the winter in a dry hangar. Squeezed in by many other Saab, it was a bit tight. Action is needed now in spring. The 9000 smells like cooling water in the interior, which is not good. The situation confronts me, however

The Saab world is small, and it feels like it is getting smaller and smaller. There is now a Saab spare parts link between Frankfurt and Barcelona, ​​something is growing together. The blog project is not innocent of this, our garage project also has something to do with it

Of course you are excited when the delivery arrives, opens the first box, removes the first cup and examines it meticulously. Was everything implemented as planned? Do i like what i see? I admit to being quite critical. Fits in

It was around 1989. I was young and pretty naive about cars. And I wanted a British roadster. The choice between a Triumph Spitfire and an MGB was clearly in favor of Morris Garages.

Spring begins, and with it the season for enthusiast vehicles begins. Many Saab are leaving their winter quarters, and not so long ago there was mail from the workshops on the occasion. Special promotions and the notice that it was at the

It is 25.03.2011/19/XNUMX. A bomb goes off in the stallbacka. Jan Åke Jonsson, Saab CEO, will resign on May XNUMXth. His move is shaking the Saab world, and the facade of the brand's successful comeback is getting rough

The 9-3 Aero was rarely suspected of driving the sporty top model of the series. Discretion was in his DNA. Only insiders knew that there was a powerful turbo hidden under the serious sheet metal cladding. At Saab, they wanted that

Spring time is auction time. In Sweden rare automobiles come under the hammer that are not available here. In addition to top-class vehicles, they also include classics such as the Saab 900i for little money. When the color scheme and the interior design exude taste and style,

A Saab 9-5 Aero, automatic, black and a few kilometers. Then in a state that simply puts you in a good mood and that triggers a certain reflex. You have to have this Saab! A good decision, because the 9-5 Aero is the youngtimer

The Volvo 780 Bertone was never officially available in Germany. The purchase price of around DM 100.000 was considered so ambitious that the strategists in Gothenburg didn't even try. Maybe they should have been braver. Because big

The 850 has many fans, it represents the Volvo brand like no other model. Jan Wilsgaard's design is timeless and ages with dignity, if at all. Otto Mobile now has a 1:18 miniature of the Volvo 850

It is always special when you hold a miniature in your hands that you drove in the original. The Saab 9-5 NG Aero from DNA Collectibles happens to come in the color “Arctic White”. That shade that is whiter than white.

What are we doing here? It's caring about car culture - flying the flag for a lost brand. It's not doing too badly, even considering the current circumstances. Maybe Saab is a little bit cult, for everyone

Granted, there's no shame in not knowing the Saab 98. Even very Saab affine people need a second or two. Yes, there was something ... The story was a long time ago and played in the days of a Saab

In mid-July 2019, the following message from a friend fluttered into my inbox: “My brother's life partner is looking for an older car for a music video production. If you are interested in renting your Saab for two days, I can give you your number ... ». It's hot

Dear Saab community. I am writing these lines as the owner of the last workshop specializing in Saab vehicles in the Barcelona area. My view of the future is extremely pessimistic. And for various reasons. For one, it's the governments and manufacturers with
