What SAAB cars and everything around them represent for us enthusiasts. This is the main section divided thematically into more specific SAAB topics.
This 2008 Saab 9-3 Aero XWD sedan brings together the ingredients that Saab buyers rarely get in one place: Fusion Blue paint, the 280-hp turbo V6, a six-speed manual, all-wheel drive, documented history, and only 42,000 miles. With no reserve, bidding just above $9,000, and two days left on Bring a Trailer, the current number looks more like an opening scene than the likely result.
After a crash, a Saab demands more than a quick repair estimate. Structural integrity, real repair costs, and insurer valuation often tell very different stories - and that gap defines the outcome.
Larry Griffin didn't suffer fools or weak drivetrains. When Car and Driver handed him the keys to the new 1987 Saab 9000S - the naturally aspirated, entry-level version of Saab's flagship - he drove it hard and called it exactly as he found it. The result was one of the most candid assessments of a Saab ever published in the golden era of print automotive journalism.
New data from Sweden shows Saab registrations falling to 184,950, but the real shift is happening beneath the surface. Scrappage rates have dropped sharply, signaling a transition from rapid decline to a slower, more stable contraction of the remaining fleet.
Saab approached vehicle safety as a complete system - one shaped by aviation thinking, structural engineering, and a clear focus on the driver's experience. These ideas still resonate with owners and enthusiasts today.
Yann Michel has formally registered SaabZH Asso as a Breton association and announced the second edition of his southern Brittany Saab weekend for June 27–28, 2026 - a pre-1997 dynamic rally along the Lorientaise coast, a campsite dinner in Étel, and a Sunday château concours open to all Saabs and Volvos.
A dark grey Classic Saab 900 hatchback, slammed on period OZ Racing split-rims and wearing the full Carlsson aerodynamic kit from A-Zperformance - built in Hungary by Devil Tuning and a circle of collaborators who each contributed a piece of the finished car.
After Dário’s near-500bhp daily-driven Saab project stalled, his brother Jose stepped in, diagnosed a hidden turbo fault, and transformed the car into a stripped, aero-focused red track machine targeting a 2:06 lap at Estoril.
A Saab Sonett II V4 believed lost reappeared in Sweden after decades in storage. A VIN mix-up led to the discovery of Lasse Lönndahl’s former gold Sonett - now preserved alongside its near-identical twin.
Built on a Saab 9-5 V6 platform and clothed by Bertone for its 90th anniversary, the Saab Novanta was SKF’s boldest drive-by-wire experiment. From Geneva and the Michelin Challenge Bibendum to today’s ASI Bertone collection at Volandia, this unique concept traces an unexpected Saab-shaped path through Italian design history and the early days of electronic vehicle control.
