Idea becomes reality. The Saab High Mileage Club is coming.

The idea is clear. Long use is sustainability. A Saab is good for many kilometers, the performance should be documented and appreciated. In the past, this was done by the manufacturers. That was a long time ago, today the focus is on getting more new vehicles

Is the Polestar 2 the new Saab 99, asked a Swedish car newspaper recently. Okay, the Polestar 2 is a hatchback with a large tailgate - like the Saab 99. And the Swedes are all romantics. Apparently they suspect behind

Saab High Mileage Club

Old cars, high mileage, an idea. We found a club.

The government encourages new car purchases? We are against it! Preserving old cars, taking care of them and using them is sustainable. An opinion that is against the mainstream. A complicated undertaking. A conservative attitude in the best sense, almost to the left

There are miniatures, one is particularly looking forward to their appearance. The Saab 9-5 NG Aero from DNA Collectibles is certainly one of them. The limousine was long expected, now comes the advance notice and the possibility to pre-order. You have to be patient.

In the fall of 1991, the Spotlight editorial team in Sweden made a seemingly impossible comparison. The new Saab 9000 against the Jaguar XJ, Audi 100, Porsche 911 and Ford Scorpio. The Porsche as a sports car icon, the XJ an epitome of British luxury. Opposed
