Re-posted As the day in question is tomorrow and there are still a few headlines going around about this, I thought it wise to bring it back to the top of the page. —— Despite the sound of the headline, this is not a press release. The purpose of this posting is two-fold: to talk of the delay in the […]
Saab delay submission to creditors in order to continue negotiations Read Post »
Earlier this week, we invited readers and Facebook fans to submit questions to Saab for responses. We now have responses for most of those questions, provided below. NOTES: A big proportion of Saab’s future is contingent upon an approval process currently underway in China. Our Chinese partners, Pang Da and Youngman, are seeking approval for their proposed investments into Saab
My thanks to everyone for sending in your questions for our Q&A offering. It’s been great to see what’s weighing on people’s minds right now and we want to do what we feasibly can to provide answers for you. I’ve gone through the questions submitted through various channels – here at IS, on Facebook and through one of our enthusiast
One thing I know about running a Saab community website is that everyone’s got something to say if you give them the opportunity 🙂 Saab are running an efficiency program at the moment called Project Cheetah. We’re aiming to increase our competitiveness wherever we can inside the company. I thought it might be interesting to get your thoughts on where
The Cheetah is the world’s fastest land-based animal and right now, Saab is looking to employ some speed when dealing with reorganising its business. We are aiming to make substantial efficiency gains and cost savings as we become more competitive for the future.

We’ve been beaten from pillar to post in certain markets and whilst some of that is warranted – we don’t shy away from our current problems – much of it not
In the car industry, it all comes down to product. The cars you’re offering to your customers. We currently have the biggest range of Saab vehicles we’ve ever had – and that range is getting better every year. Since being sold from General Motors, we have built and released the all-new Saab 9-5 Sedan. We’ve improved the Saab 9-3 with
Much has been made of the damage done to our brand in recent years and there’s no denying that some of this is true, especially in recent months. In Scandinavia, the spotlight has been on this company in a way that I think it unprecedented for a car company and quite possibly for just about any company in Sweden. Amongst
This is a tricky one to tackle. How do you cover technology without covering stuff that you’re not actually allowed to talk about that much – future stuff? Nevertheless, I’ll give it a try. Saab have always had a good record of punching above their weight when it comes to innovation. Whether it’s early developments like heated seats, headlamp washers
They say that the biggest asset any company has is its people and Saab are no different in this respect. I’ve been connected to Saab people for a number of years now and it never ceases to amaze me, how such a small niche player in a little town in western Sweden can have such an attraction for supremely talented
Saab Automobile lodged an application for reorganisation today. A decision on this application is still pending as I write this. If granted, the reorganisation process will allow us court protection from creditors’ actions whilst we continue making the financial arrangements we need to carry us into our long-term deals with partners from China. As you might imagine, it was a
