News about Saab

At the moment there still is not much to tell about Saab. In India there are sources reporting that Mahindra has bought Saab. Other sources claim that National Electric Vehicle Sweden AB is the new owner. As long as there is no official statement of the administrators we still know nothing. What we do know is that VM drove a Saab 93 in the Mille Miglia of 2012. Don`t know about the Mille Miglia? In 2011 Saab made this nice video about the Mille Miglia: . Three Saabs where driving in the 2011 Mille Miglia, in 2012 the 93 of VM drove the only one Saab. Fortunately cars of other brands where allowed to drive the Mille Miglia too...

Youngman out of the game

According to a Swedish source Youngman is out of the game of Saab Ab. Negotiations with the administrators have been stopped said a source involved in the process to di.se. Instead, another Chinese group called electric vehicle consortium took the tip and the advanced stage of negotiations. "The reason that Youngman`s out of the negotiations is that the administrators feel uncertain about the payments that are controlled by the Chinese bureaucracy and that they can take a long time" says Di`s source (Thanks to Chris Ivory for translating).

No news about Saab yet unfortunately

Because there`s still no news about Saab, it is rather silent on this blog unfortunately. Sad, but true. Saabsunited is busy to save one of the last Saabs for the Museum, maybe you did not notice? If not, here is the link. I for myself have used my 9-3 convertible last month where she was made for on a trip to Italy (from the Netherlands). Wow what am I happy with that car. Silent, quick and comfortable as well. So sad they`re not in production anymore.

We`ve done the trip with 2 convertibles, a red one and my black one. Driven normally the fuel consumption of the red one was just about 15% higher compared to my Saab.

More pictures of my trip are on this page.
