Once a stronghold for Saab, Norway now faces a steep decline in registered vehicles, with fewer than 10,000 Saabs left on the road. From nearly 40,000 in the early 2010s, the fleet has shrunk by 75% in just over a decade. Harsh winters, rust, scrappage incentives, and parts shortages are accelerating the brand’s disappearance. Enthusiasts fight to keep the legacy alive, but the numbers tell a sobering story.
Experience the thrill of Saab enthusiasts gathering at the Saab Turbo Club of Norway's Winter Meetup in Trøndelag on March 16, 2024. Discover camaraderie, cars, and more at Agdas Café. Everyone welcome!
