It’s been about six months since Spyker took over Saab from General Motors in a multi-million dollar deal.  This Dutch auto company is bound and determined to make Saab profitable again by the year 2012.  They’ve got a lot of great plans including a possible small car lineup as well as some updates to tried and true Saab models.  Let’s first take a look at what’s up for the 2011 car year.

I often think of a Saab like a diamond in the rough.  It’s a really great car, but it’s often forgot about amongst other foreign cars in its class.  In February, after being under the reign of GM for 20 years, the Saab brand was sold to Spyker Cars, a Dutch company.  Many were excited about this move. Now Saab is under the reign of a company that really cares about a great car: they understand what the Saab name is all about.  Continue Reading…

Saab vehicles are what I like to think of as “diamonds in the rough”.  You don’t see a ton of them on the roadways, but obviously they’re something special.  As General Motors cleaned house of other popular brands like Saturn and Pontiac, Saab was fabulous enough for one company to go out on a limb for.  Spyker Cars finalized a deal with GM back in February of this year to purchase the auto lineup for a pretty penny, to keep it intriguing for you.  They are currently hard at work producing new models that will make it to your Chicago 9-5 Griffin dealer.  One Saab model turning heads amongst auto industry experts is the new 2010 9-5!

I recently came across an article about a man who was awarded a brand new Saab when he donated his old Saab to a museum.  The donated car, a 1989 900SPG, belonged to a Wisconsin man who used it for work.  Over the course of ownership, he put a million miles on the car working as a traveling insurance salesman!  No joke, and it even had the original engine and turbocharger.  This gives you a clear example of how well built and durable your Chicago Saab autos really are!

With Spyker working extremely hard to get Saab back in the auto race, there’s news about a new model coming into future inventory at your Saab of Chicago dealership.  How about a 9-5 X wagon and a 9-5X Sport Combi wagon with “cross wheel drive”?   Sounds like something I’d like to hear more about, and hope you do too!

The 9-5 X Wagon series is expected to be sold as a 2011 model, which means we have a little while to wait.  As you probably know, Saab models are a little behind, car year wise, due to the pending sale of the brand and uncertainty at General Motors.  Right now, many dealerships have limited inventories of Chicago 2010 Saab models, but this will be changing soon.  Keep checking your favorite dealer for the latest updates.
