History of SAAB Documentary

History of the brand SAAB, by Discovery documentary

[henriquemagalhaes]

One of the most underrated brand and way ahead of it´s time. Shame that is now

[marcscordato]

Nothing today is as unique and Distinctive as a Saab 900 Turbo . VW bought Scania I wish they had bought Saab as well.

"Born from jets, killed by assholes!"

[IMAWARRIOR]

Saab was ahead of its time. Wish they were still here. Sucks GM tried to get them to produce trashy unsafe junk. Kudos to Saab for staying true to their morals.

So sad they are gone. My dad has a 2011 95 which we love, he does 25 thousand miles a year and it hasn't failed us once. He had a 2007 93 before which got up to 18000 miles. Not sure which car to get not Saabs gone. Thank you for keeping their legacy going.

got an 2002 9-3 hatch not too long ago and just got a stage 1 tune for it too. These cars are incredible, incredibly overengineered engines, and so much luxury. 20 years old and nearly everything works brand new, im in love with this thing and have big plans for it

Clarkson described the typical Saab owner as an Architect or an Engineer.

Can’t wait to visit the Alabama desert. I had no idea.

The best car ever made, all saab models

[brucefredrickson]

I owned a 1985 Saab 900 Turbo. It was a great car and I was drawn to its uniqueness.

Lovely car, drive it daily,
Stage two map, sounds glorious.
Summer evenings, hood down,
Tunes playing, exhaust burbling
Lines on the car are perfectly aesthetic, iceblocks look great
Extras I got on mine from factory
Auto dimming mirror, folding mirrors, heated seats, climate control, auto hood lower, sports suspension, etc etc.
Picked it up for £1500 that's around
§2400 dollars.

I had Saab for many years it was one of the best car i ever drive, I think it was too bad for the Goverment of Sweden to let the factory collapse.

[polarbear]

Carpress kept telling that SAAB 9-3, or 9-5 were a bit boring, but in fact they are beautifull, with a very balanced design, elegant and powerfull. The press just didn’t want to see the inherent beauty.

[notroll]

That must be quite an old documentary - neither the 9-5 nor the switching over from 900 to 9-3 are mentioned.
Sadly, the optimistic note at the end wasn't quite justified.
I bought a well-kept 9-5 one year after SAAB collapsed and like it a lot. Spares availability is good and there are good YouTube vids about how to do common repairs yourself - so I hope to keep mine for many more years to come.

One of my first cars was a 1978 Saab 99. I bought it used in 1992. I looooved that car. It was a 4 speed though not the turbo. When I graduated from college I bought a Saab 900 and loved that one too, but it had some reliability issues. I don't think the previous own took very good care of it. I miss that car company. Thanks GM. You really f'ed up a great car company.

[philliplyn]

Loving this one thanks for sharing this one I'm a big fan of saab one day would love to visit the museum they have so many things would love to see and try to drive thanks for sharing this one can't wait to come and visit very soon

[sevesellors]

Great brand had the pleasure of selling and driving Saabs, miss them, would love to see their return. GM misunderstood the brand and basically killed them.

[pasoundman]

SAAB certainly made some interesting and indeed great cars. The 9000 is one of my all time favourites. Perhaps their weakest point was their lower sales volumes compared to comparable marques which sadly doomed them financially along with GM's failure to understand their design DNA.

[ginoaerts]

that aninmated movie made me buy a 9000cs 2.3 16v and understand the definition of this brand . the car had 300k km's + when i got it and it was amazing
