Saab is history. Saab filed for corporate insolvency yesterday. A Swedish Court will appoint an insolvency administrator to wind up the company.

Before Saab goes Pear Shaped maybe Holden could borrow/pinch the XWD system to create an AWD Commodore & [Crewman] Ute

It wouldn’t be that hard; as the Zeta platform is one of the most flexible platforms in the GM line up and if you imagine a VE front end on the Saab you’ve virtually got it.

With Saab on the brink of bankruptcy, sadly, it’s too little too late.

So this is based on the current 9-3? I don’t think this car will help Saab much, what they need is proper all new cars to replace their dated range

Both fuel economy figures are highway for manual versions.

Looking forward to drive reports of the 2.0T XWD version with the pro-active eLSD.

Those fuel economy figures look rather low – particularly for the diesel at 4.6 l/100k??? Thats down in small car diesel hybrid territory. Are these numbers correct, or are they quoting hi-way numbers?

Perfect, although a bit small for me. Like they state it’s great for someone who doesn’t want the lousy truck like ride and economy.

Love Saab’s…where do I sign.

Ain’t nothing wrong with that – I like it. Particlarly impressed by the fuel economy numbers.
