This car is all SAAB. GM bought SAAB in 1998 and began to neuter it. This car has thicker sheetmetal from
SAAB. the engine is direct ignition 4 valve per cylinder with turbo. All gauges work. It has pushbutton sport selection as well. You don't have to use it though. if you do it will overboost and blast to the 6500 redline and push you hard into the seat and wipe off the smirks off of the faces of BMW, Mercedes and Jaguar owners all day long. Over and over. She is beautiful. Has brand new convertible top motor , new water pump, new belt, new pulley, new radiator as well as many other things. She has best infinity 3.5's in the dash stock look run off the 50 watts per channel kenwood cd player. She has Alpine 6.75's in the front of the doors and running parallel to them are the 6.75 Pioneer volcanics. These four are run off the front channel of the sony explode amplifier mounted on the inside wall of the trunk. The rear 6/9 Rockford Fosgates are run off the back channel of the sony explode amplifier. The sound is tremendous and life like at ear shattering volume. Even with the wonderful black convertible top down! and it hides under a panel so it does not look all wrinkly like the Jaguars do. and the convertible has defrost glass not yellow cheap plastic. it runs wonderfully. The engine was replaced around 50,000 miles ago. I only use Castrol full synthetic on her. She has her proper SAAB Aero rims and the tires are GOOD. She is an absolute joy to have and hold. You will be asked to talk about her everywhere you go. You will be part of a sub culture of SAAB owners. You thumb up each and other. The difference being is that you will have the BEST one. Black body , Black Leather and SAAB stained wood dash. This car is fantastic. There is so much to list and to learn as you go on your journey. So many details and features. This car listed at $44,000 1997 American dollars. I love her dearly with all of my heart. she will be missed but she will serve you in all of her glory and all will praise you every where you go. There is so much more to her than can possibly be listed. I must move on to a different part of my life buy she will forever be a part of me.

GM recalling 250,000 SUVs over door electronics

Mon, 20 Aug 2012

After a door-fire investigation that dates back to February, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has officially announced a recall today that affects around 250,000 General Motors SUVs for a faulty driver's door module. The recall applies to the Buick Rainier, Chevrolet Trailblazer, GMC Envoy, Isuzu Ascender and Saab 9-7X from the 2006 and 2007 model years, as well as the 2006 Chevrolet Trailblazer EXT and GMC Envoy XL for vehicles sold and/or registered in the Snow Belt.
Road salt use in these midwestern and northern states can lead to corrosion of the driver's door module on these GMT360 and GMT370 vehicles, which allows water to come in contact with the circuit board. If shorted out, the vehicle's power door locks and power windows will not work, and could possibly lead to overheating and, in some circumstances, a fire. No official word on how many total vehicles caught on fire, but back in June, 28 fires had been reported to the government agency. A fix for the problem is still being worked out, but all affected vehicle owners will be notified by GM.

Spyker files $3 billion lawsuit against General Motors over Saab's demise

Mon, 06 Aug 2012

"Smack." That's the sound of Spyker's process server dropping a big ol' pile of legal documents on the doorstep of The Renaissance Center, home of General Motors - or wherever GM's attorneys live during business hours. Contained therein is a Complaint, filed in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Michigan and demanding a jury trial, that seeks $3 billion in damages due to "the unlawful actions GM took to avoid competition with Saab Automobile in the Chinese market." Spyker accuses GM of "tortiously interfering" with Saab's business relationship with Chinese automaker Zhejiang Youngman Lotus Automobile (Youngman), actions that Spyker CEO Victor Muller (above) said "deliberately drove Saab Automobile into bankruptcy."
(From Wikipedia: "Tortious interference, also known as intentional interference with contractual relations, in the common law of torts, occurs when a person intentionally damages the plaintiff's contractual or other business relationships.")
The interference in question specifically refers to the very last potential deal, called the Framework Agreement, that Spyker worked out with Youngman. With lots of GM engineering embedded into the 9-4X and 9-5, The General had the right to approve any Saab partnership that would involve the transfer of GM intellectual property. Spyker had been rebuffed over every previous deal with a Chinese firm, including two bids by Youngman, due to GM concerns over its IP getting into Chinese hands and having to face Chinese-market competitors using its technology. The Complaint alleges that the Framework Agreement would have put a firewall around all GM IP - Youngman would only work on Saab's Phoenix platform, said to be just about free of GM tech, and would have no access to 9-3, 9-4X or 9-5 technology until after Saab ceased all ties to GM.

Saab's never-was 9-3 gets a few better looks

Sat, 23 Mar 2013

The recent glimpses we've been getting of the never-was Saab 9-3 Phoenix must be like rubbing salt on the wounds of all the Saab fans out there. If that's the case, diehard Saab enthusiasts might want to look away from this. SaabWorld has uncovered a handful of shots of what was to be the next-generation 9-3 hatchback, and boy does it look sharp.
Revealing a clearer look at what we previously saw in grainy images or as a full-scale model, these new pictures show what Jason Castriota had in mind for the new car. The front end is obviously inspired by Saab's Phoenix Concept, while the rear of the car pays homage to the Saab 900 hatchback.
We like the overall look. Let us know what you think in the Comments.
