I’ve added another event to the events calendar. This is one that I won’t be bale to attend myself as I’ll be back in Australia, but it’s one that I definitely wish I could. It’s being hosted by the Saab Club of Italy and the theme is “Flying Saab” The event will be held on September 10th and 11th at […]
Something quite cool happened at the recent Almedalen conference – a big gathering of political, social and business movers and shakers here in Sweden. A small company called Great Beyond wanted to show their skills (PR, social, etc) and decided they’d help out at Almedalen using Saabs as their vehicle of choice. What unfolded was a wonderful service for busy
I just wanted to add this release to finish off our Best of the Road coverage. I really enjoyed the Wynns’ work and am so happy for them taking out this prize. They’re going to love that 9-4x. —— Rand McNally sponsors — “Best of the Road” — rally to 30 cities, with media partner, USA TODAY ROYAL OAK, MICH.,

I hadn’t been down to the locks for around 6 weeks (here’s the report from last time) but my wife and I headed down last night for a slice of life in Trollhattan in summertime – the Wednesday night car show at the locks. It was a good night to go, too. The weather was great and the cars were
The Best of the Road teams are now coming close to the end of their journey as they converge on Los Angeles. On Friday, their collective journey will end and one lucky pairing will win $10,000 plus a Saab 9-4x for their work! Nice work if you can get it, huh? I hope you’ve been tracking their respective journeys as
Saab have been the main sponsor of the Swedish Open tennis tournament for the last 25 years. That all changed this year of course, because of our current circumstances, but our initial commitment to the tournament some time earlier meant that we were still able to have a presence there. The ladies singles and doubles finals took place earlier today
I’m very sad to pass on to you all that I won’t be able to attend either the Saab Owners Convention, nor Swedish Car Day, this year. Inside Saab isn’t immune from Saab’s current circumstances, so I’ll have to content myself with doing such things next year. I attended Swedish Car Day in 2010 and I can tell you it’s

We’ve already told you about the zero emissions Saab 9-3 ePower vehicles that are both on the roads and on display at Almedalen, the big socio-political love-fest on in Visby at the moment. We’ll hopefully have more on those vehicles later. In the meantime, here’s a little of what’s happening at Almedalen…. —— Saab’s representative at Almedalen is our Public
A few days ago, I posted an article here on Inside Saab, written by a friend of mine in Boston named Pierre Belperron (a guy I’ve previously referred to as “the second-hardest working man in all Saabdom” due to his diligent work as Service Manager at Charles River Saab). The article was called Bare Naked Saabing (highly recommended reading) and
Slightly delayed coverage here, but the Best of the Road drivers recently got their Saabs. People who know him might note US Product guru John Libbos giving them an intro to ‘torque’ and the physical sensations it delivers 🙂 Enjoy. —
