Volkswagen Norway’s winter ad casts a de-badged Saab 9-3 as the car that can’t climb a snowy hill - but for many Saab owners, that scene doesn’t match real winter experience.

Johan Josefsson’s Swedish team is building a 1964 Saab 96 Sport for the 2027 East African Safari Classic, with Appendix K discipline and Safari-ready strategy. Before the rally car is assembled, the 1974 Saab 95 service wagon gets finished in public at Elmia’s Restoration Show during Easter 2026.

Saab & Wine 2026 returns to southern Poland for its sixth edition, blending Saab driving culture with vineyard landscapes in the Beskid Niski region. With a carefully planned landscape rally, tastings at Winnica Kmiecia and Winnica Rymanów, and limited attendance, the event once again focuses on driving, conversation, and shared experience rather than spectacle.

Autoweek’s Autoreviews section offers something most automotive media cannot: long-term, owner-written accounts grounded in real mileage and real decisions. With more than 400 Saab reviews alone, this Dutch database reveals how models like the Saab 9-3 age over years of use - covering maintenance, failures, upgrades, and ownership satisfaction in a way no short test drive ever could.

Dutch lawmakers are tightening the youngtimerregeling, shifting the age threshold to 16 in 2026 and 25 in 2027. TopGear NL expects a surge of Saabs for sale and a reset in pricing - one that could reward buyers who know what they’re looking at.

AutoWeek’s late-2025 test of a 1997 Saab 9000 CS offers a rare, unsentimental look at Saab’s former flagship. We analyze what the editor values, what he critiques, and why the 9000 is finally being taken seriously again.

Bob Lutz’s blunt Motor1 comments ignited a wave of reactions and over 120 SaabPlanet readers pushed back with their own theories, memories, and alleged insider detail. This follow-up digs into what can actually be verified from Saab’s final GM decade: chronic underinvestment, diverted resources, tech sharing that favored other GM brands, and the cancellations that left Saab without a viable product runway. We also place selected reader claims in context, clearly separating what’s documentable from what remains unproven - but hard to ignore.

The Saab 9-5 NG TTiD was meant to prove Saab still had direction, but time and money ran out first. In a detailed Czech review, Ondřej Hrubeš examines Saab’s final, unfinished flagship as it exists today.

The Netherlands has long been a safe haven for Saab ownership. A sudden youngtimer tax change now puts that entire ecosystem under pressure.

Geoff Thompson brings his 20-year-old Saab 9-5 Aero manual to Performance Remap to answer a simple question: if it feels this quick on the road, what is it actually doing on the dyno? With Chris running multiple pulls, the numbers climb past 300 hp and close to 490 Nm, confirming that this modest £1,800 buy is one of the strongest personal cars Geoff has ever owned.
