If there were any concerns about the authenticity of the 9-4x and 9-5 engine information that I posted last night, those concerns would be based on the fact that they came from a new, as-yet unverified source.I can confirm that the 9-4x information agreed with info I’d previously heard from a completely independant and very [...]

One thing I’ve always enjoyed about Saab is their capacity to produce some great images in their publicity.That facet has faded a little in the last 2 years or so, but seeing this image this morning made me smile. Maybe it’s back.The image comes from a Saab Germany press release to do with Saab [...]

If you believe recent news reports then ethanol is responsible for expensive tortillas, hungry cows, unmanageable fires, endangered animals, global corning, high taxes, rabid dogs, Hillary, and that itch in the middle of your back that you can’t quite reach.Of course, the truth is buried deep in the burrito where it’s mixed with a whole [...]

I brought you a brief article from the Boston Herald last week, where the writer Mike Mello had plenty of good things to say about the Saab Turbo X.This week he’s published his full article, and it picks up right where the introductory article left off. The 2008 Saab Turbo X is a rocket. [...]

OK, this one’s a bit of a reach, but as we’ve had a few people associated with this site win trips at Saab’s expense recently, it’s worth letting you know about it.There’s a travel website in the UK called Mr and Mrs Smith. Silly, I know, but there you go.With sponsorship from Saab, they’re [...]

Saablover, provider of some basic Saab 9-4x engine specs earlier today, has backed up again with some Saab 9-5 engine specs.Both the Saab 9-4x and Saab 9-5 are expected to debut in 2009. The 9-5 at the Geneva Motor Show, and the 9-4x possibly some time later in the year.The 9-5 engines are said [...]

A commenter called Saablover has posted some Saab 9-4x engine specs in comments. I should say, at this point, that I’m not aware of who Saablover is, and that I don’t recall any Djup Strupe info coming from Saablover prior to this.That said, this information is quite consistent with other info I’ve received recently. [...]

Many thanks to Jon1 for dropping this one into comments.There’s a massive photo gallery from Saabs at Carlisle 2008 over at the New York Saab Owners Club website. 350 photos in all. As mentioned previously, there’s a huge number of Saabs that turn up at the annual event - some of them belong [...]

Recently I asked if there were any circumstances where you could envision it being OK that Saab release a new model without a turbocharged engine. Some people opined that a non-turbocharged hybrid drivetrain would be OK for a Saab, and I tend to agree. Unfortunately, that’s not why I asked the question.For me, [...]

I think all 99T enthusiasts will agree that this is the best Saab Owner’s Convention logo ever.Kudos to whoever designed that one.The Saab Owner’s Convention for 2008 is going to be held from August 21-24 at the Deven Commons Center, Devens, MA. Registrations have just opened so if you’re planning on attending, click here [...]
