dear community of the faithful, true friends will have already read it on trollhattansaab … the 9-5 will be delayed … if at all … at the gm/chrysler deal (we proudly welcome american leyland..) is saab yes only a rounding difference. so I demand for years: let saab die in peace. PATIENT FACILITY. if the saab 9-5 (over 5m long — fits anyway in the time) then in the jänner 2010 in the car houses there are no more saabhäusers. then he will be between the chevrolets hidden? so still buy such a load-load grip-inedition 9-5? (so for 30 K€ from sweden with everything pi, everything pa and everything po?) or leave it after all? just as a BMW driver want to return to the old love? ah, that’s all sad..

Hello everyone, I just stumbled over one in the SPON, in which an ADAC survey is presented, in which vehicle manufacturers are evaluated according to the satisfaction of their customers. And look…Saab customers are more satisfied with their vehicles than the customers of the German competition, only the Japanese are almost all ahead. Quotation: “In the first part of the reader’s survey it was about satisfaction with the vehicle itself. …. In the second question complex, the experiences with the Werkstattserv In addition to the quality of the work and the costs, they asked about the friendliness of the employees and the consulting skills.” So it can’t be that bad about Saab. The question is, how many people from the Saab camp participated in the vote? One, or both ? Greeting, nibohr

Is there a silver lining on the horizon for the beaten Swedish car manufacturer Saab? According to Saab CEO Jonsson, the first interested parties have already registered. And they should also come from the car industry. HB STOCKHOLM. For the Swedish GM subsidiary Saab, there are the first interested parties after their application for creditor protection. Saab CEO Jan-Ake Jonsson told the daily newspaper “Dagens Industri Saab was the first well-known car manufacturer to apply for creditor protection in the course of the global economic crisis. In this way, Saab is to be renovated and become an independent and profitable company that is interesting for investors and buyers. In addition, Saab has significantly revised the business plans in recent weeks, Jonsson said. “We revised our estimates of production volume by 10 to 15 percent. On its website, the company reported without reference that the plan for this year is ahead of sales of 65 000 to 70 000 vehicles after 94 000 in the past year. In three to four years, the Group expects a sales increase to 150 000 units. Like the German manufacturer Opel, Saab belongs to the sluggish US company General Motors. The Swedish automaker suffers particularly from the worldwide sales crisis because it has a comparatively old model range. t. In addition, the group struggles with overcapacity and high costs.

Saab has to stop production It had already indicated itself. The insolvent Swedish automaker has to stop production for the time being. The money is not even enough for official fees. The insolvent Swedish car manufacturer Saab has to stop production due to acute payment problems. A spokesman of the customs office confirmed on Wednesday that the authorities would have forbidden any delivery or delivery of material or finished cars for the main plant Trollhättan because the Unt Saab had filed for insolvency last week as a subsidiary of the US General Motors Group (GM), but had also announced the continuation of production with 4100 employees. From the company it stated that the problems with the Swedish customs would be solved “as soon” . The parent company in Detroit, which is even struggling for its survival, wants to continue production for the first time on dre i months of temporary restructuring of Saab to finance a “self-employed company” but also requires government subsidies from Stockholm.

In 1990 General Motors took over 50 percent of the Antei ten years later, the rest of the shares in the world’s largest car company at that time. Except for a short phase in the 1990s, Saab always lost the parent company. FTD.de, 5:21 p.m. © 2009 Financial Times Deutschland

Hello, every now and then it is quite nice to taste in the car picture, especially if something is written about Saab. Of course I don’t expect so much from AB now, but what is to be read in issue 6 has led me to a letter from the reader:Dear ladies and gentlemen, I have read your current car picture edition a little irritated. Unfortunately, some mistakes have crept in with your information about the brand Saab. On page 58 you write that with Saab no H On page 23, however, it can be read that the 9-5II is a hybrid in planning. Moreover, your statement about the biopower models is not understandable. If ethanol is obtained from plant mass, then it is a CO2-neutral type of drive and is therefore significantly superior to any other type of drive, including hybrid drive, in terms of CO2 emissions globally. Also, no Opel engines are installed in Saab models. eim 2.0t-Motor around GM-Motorblock, which was “edited” and further developed by Saab (e.g. Trionic 8). Thus Saab stands out more independently than e.g. Audi in the VW-Verbund. Moreover, the Saab 9-3 is not also a Opel Vectra with other bodywork, but Saab only uses the same GM-Platform. It would be nice if you would stop your negative representation of Saab and would perhaps report a little more objectively about the brand. also not constantly from VW, even if the similarities between Audi and BMW are much stronger than with Saab and Opel. With kind regards a bit embarrassing. I don’t expect you to get well-founded information now. In the meantime, you can find out much better on the Internet, so that car newspapers are no longer so necessary. Sad is that car image itself contradicts and always uses the same false clichés. For Saab it is just that in every used car special issue the Saab 9-3 is represented as Opel Vectra with other bodywork. One can probably not bear that the car overall cuts off quite well.

Hello According to the unofficial information of the news programme “Current” on Swedish television, Saab will submit the request for “reconstruction” at the executive meeting on 19.2.09 at 11 o’clock in the morning. This is to be done to win 1 time and 2 to protect against creditors…… The request for “reconstruction” is to be submitted to the court in Vännersborg. Truly bad news. Now it seems very fast…. And here’s the link, for all those who what Swedish understand…. http://svt.se/…/Crosslink.jsp?… Sweden Troll

GM as expensive as 1950 Measured by the share price of today, GM would be worth only about four billion US dollars. Its German competitor Volkswagen is worth more than 30 times as much after its recent price explosion with a market capitalization of around 130 billion US dollars and now the No.1 in the car world. Reason for the crash by at times more than 21 percent: GM had recently announced disappointing sales figures for Europe. Europe for GM in the face of the crisis at home market USA has recently become an important support. The reason for the reluctance of buyers in Europe is due to the credit crisis and inflation.

Hello municipality, Can someone recommend me a SAAB specialist near Dortmund? I have a 2003-er Hirsch 93 and my main workshop is unfortunately a bit overwhelmed on this point. (What should be no negative criticism now, because otherwise it is great! Small but fine.) Problem: Some power loss at approx. 4000 rpm. You just need a specialist man for electronic troubleshooting, because the engine otherwise runs clean and nothing is in the memory. Mfg BfG
