    Saab: The Eulogy

    Here. From the guys at The Truth About Cars. Apparently, Saab never designed a "clean-sheet new engine". I wonder what they'll say about Mercedes when its time comes?

    W203, wish Saab made the seats!!

    Went to visit my parents today, a total of 370 miles round trip with the return journey taking 3 hours 40 minutes because of a serious accident on the A30 into Salisbury. This is the longest trip in the C320 so far and within an hour I was experiencing discomfort especially in my lumbar area...

    Wanted - Cheap diesel tow car <£2k

    I'm looking for a cheap diesel tow car for less than £2k. Max tow weight of 1000kg is fine. If you know of one in your area that you can personally recommend please let me know. I'm near Banbury. I'm willing to travel, but ideally less than 50 miles. Thanks.

    Bit of a quandary Saab v Insignia

    Help - I really don't know what to do. Heart is ruling over head, but they both keep changing their mind... Last year I took an Insignia on long term rental. It costs £480 with no mileage cap, and no maintenance liability. When it gets a bit leggy (15k or so) they change it for another...

    SAAB to use BMW engines!

    Yes Saab are to use a BMW petrol engine from 2012. The Turbocharged 1.6-litre units are to be built in the UK :thumb: and will include stop-start and other fuel-saving measures. Some pundits predict this means the next SAAB will be a smaller car but most manufacturers appear to be...

    Saab on a summers day

    Nice day, never having had a proper go at cleaning the Saab, and fancied stealing back the half day that work cost me on Sunday. Not a proper 'detail' but the Merc needs some serious attention, so I thought I would practice also. My assistant decided to get involved after this photo...

    Saab driving d*ckhead on the A419

    Some nice chap in a black Saab 9-3 decided he would pull out from behind a Transit van on the dual carraigeway coming past Swindon tonight (A419 I think...) without looking, as I was pretty much along side him. This caused me to slam the anchors on, veer towards the central reservation to...

    SAAB heading for the scrapyard

    GM have walked away from negotiations to sell SAAB and are to arrange an "orderly shutdown". Oddly enough, last week they agreed to sell the tooling for the previous-generation Saab 9-3 and the Saab 9-5: to BAIC in China...... Press release: "General Motors announced today that the...

    So, this is it - Saab owners and lovers are having the day from hell today as in just a few hours the GM board will announce it's decision as to keep, sell or kill Saab! Educated opinion is they'll kill it off or sell rights to BAIC and scrap the rest. I spoke to my local dealer this morning...
