The Saab calendar is now already filling up with events for 2024. The registration deadlines are running, and the Saab Winter Rally in the Netherlands would be one of the recommended events. But 2023 is still in play. To the end…
This year we already had various Saab police cars as a topic. First a Saab 9-3, then a 9-5, but so far no Saab 900 police car. Which could be particularly tempting, because the scale is 1:43...
Saab is more than just airplanes. Saab is a high-technology group that also produces maritime solutions and security systems. Iconic cars have also been produced in the past. Unfortunately not anymore in the present. But the Swedes...
If you want to drive an absolutely individual SUV, don't buy from Range Rover, Bentley, Ferrari or Lotus. Anyone who owns a Saab 9-4x can only smile in boredom at their inflationary mass production. Correct…
Electric cars are nothing more than smartphones that have just been put on wheels. The exciting development in the next few years will be the merging of mobility and smartphones into a seamless world of experience. Always…
Almost exactly two years ago I reported here about an abandoned Saab workshop in France. A once successful company, which - as was shown in the course of research - has its origins far back...
Before you buy a car, you take a test drive. It's similar with military jets. An evaluation takes place, which under normal circumstances lasts for months. Then reports are evaluated, the pros and cons are weighed up,…
Did you know that every Boeing 787 Dreamliner also contains Saab technology? In fact, since the launch of the successor to the 767, a piece of Swedish engineering has accompanied every flight. All door systems on the 787 will...
Even after more than a decade with the SaabBlog magazine, the small Swedish car brand has remained a matter close to the heart. Things get pretty difficult when vehicles appear on the market that I see as being in good hands...
We start with the next part of our Saab 93 story. It's still winter, but the scenery is clearly gaining momentum. While we salvage a Saab 99 GL from an underground car park (link), in which…
Good news for everyone who is eagerly waiting for their Saab T-shirts from the Sweden and Switzerland editions! Although many more shirts were ordered than planned, our local partner kept the delivery time within limits...
The last t-shirt edition for the current year can still be ordered up to and including Sunday. Then the production of the Sweden and Switzerland edition starts - a few days later the delivery begins. Demand is extremely...
A few weeks ago I wrote about the perfect scent of classic automobiles. This original experience that only old cars can offer. You don't need selectable, personalized scents that the AI distributes in the interior. It is…
One thing that has been with me for a long time is finding a discreet smartphone holder for the 9000. I had tried a lot of things in the past few years, sometimes even made them suitable, was with the...
Our Saab 9-3 Aero Hirsch Performance has finally done the dry ice blasting. The underbody looks almost as it came fresh from the body shop on Göta Älv. The method did what it promised...
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…
One of the cars with the lowest depreciation ever is not included in any statistics. It's the Saab 9-5, the last generation of large Saab sedans produced in Sweden in 2010 and 11. That this car...
Strictly speaking, the last version of the old 9-5 series is also the last real Saab. Engines and manual transmissions were still Swedish designs for him, the 9-5 was designed by the engineers who had already designed the 9000 ...
In Trollhättan, after years of stagnation, things are changing with surprising dynamics. That's good, without question. Time doesn't stand still. The city, which from a historical perspective is already a master of reinvention,…
The Saab scene is inevitably dying out. Or? If you trust the big media, an image is projected that seems hopeless. The key messages would be that young people generally refrain from obtaining a driving license. That they...
