Is That Car New? No, but it looks, runs and drives like it is!!!
Whether you are shopping for yourself or another, here is a Saab 9-3 that is simply gorgeous and a prize example of how nicely you can maintain a car. This one rides beautifully with a dry 2.0L 4-cyl that purrs along beautifully, the 5-speed manual transmission shifts perfect through the gears, the brakes and suspension are strong and track straight as an arrow going down the road, and the exhaust is quiet. The car has plenty of pick-up with the turbo kicking on just as it should and we cannot find a fault with this one, especially with valid inspection stickers. The interior of the car is pristine with nice genuine leather seats that do not show a tear, rip, burn or stain, the carpets are immaculate,the cargo area was never even looked at, the headliner is clean and tight to the roof and the dash is in perfect shape with no cracks. All the power buttons work as they should including power memory heated seats, cd/tape/radio, and locks & windows. The a/c is cold, the heat is hot, and if it wasn't for the ABS light on (needs front wheel sensor) , I'd pin it for a perfect one. The body of the car is beautiful with no major dents, the original paint shines brightly and is a terrific looking one from any angle. There are no cosmetic defects to speak off besides glass on driver's side outside mirror being hazy but doesn't detract from this 9-3 good looks and even has a almost brand new set of tires beneath it. Just serviced at the Saab Shop in town with fresh oil change, new gas tank float assembly and rear hub. Don't miss out on this beautiful car!!! Bid early and bid often on this gorgeous Saab 9-3!!! Good luck!!!

Petrolicious keeps our love of the Saab Sonett aflame
Wed, 19 Mar 2014German auto designs lean toward function and purpose. Italian designers deliver passion and beauty. The Brits, majesty. American cars, brashness and authority. If you want a funky design, though, you go to Sweden. The land of cheap, do-it-yourself furniture and delicious meatballs knows a thing or six about style and design, and while that character is only now reemerging thanks to a certain string of Volvo concepts, it use to be that Saab was the authority on penning some of the industry's more unique designs.
Take the beautiful Sonett for example - a small coupe whose appearance is a funky mishmash of a Porsche 911 and a Bugeyed Sprite with just a hint of a Citroën DS (it's that convex rear window). It's a positively striking car, made more unique by its two-stroke, three-cylinder powertrain and four-on-the-tree manual transmission. With just 70 horsepower hauling about 1,500 pounds of Swedish style, the Sonett strikes us as an ideal alternative to some of the English sports cars of its day, particularly for those that are looking for something beyond your average MG or Triumph.
For Glenn Roberts, the Sonett was a part of his childhood. His family owned example was originally a special-order item by his parents in 1967. He bought the car from them 13 years later and has never looked back, completing a restoration in 2004. With a story like that, it's not surprising that Roberts and his silver Sonett are the most recent pairing to get some attention from Petrolicious.
Saab owner may speed up relaunch with gas-powered 9-3
Wed, 21 Nov 2012National Electric Vehicle Sweden, the new owner of Saab, has good news for you if you happened to miss out on picking up a 9-3 before the company plummeted through bankruptcy. Automotive News Europe reports NEVS may offer a gasoline-powered 9-3 in 2013. That move would effectively step up the brand's re-launch plan by a full year. Originally, the company planned to introduce an electric vehicle in 2014, but NEVS is currently investigating ways to start production next summer using "a 9-3 with a traditional powertrain" in order to generate more cash for the electrification effort.
NEVS purchased Saab earlier this year with the intent of resurrecting the brand with a fully electric product portfolio. The new EVs would theoretically ride on the Saab Phoenix platform and be manufactured at the automaker's plant in Trollhattan, Sweden. The report of a resurrected gasoline model came courtesy of Mikael Oestlund, a company spokesperson familiar with the company's workings.
Grainy leaked images show stillborn Castriota-designed Saab 9-3
Mon, 04 Feb 2013The Saab faithful are going to be playing the "what if" game for years to come. It's one of the burdens of being a fan of a dead brand. A fresh batch of grainy 9-3 Phoenix images have made their way online, alleged shots of a design proposal penned by none other than Jason Castriota. The five-door looks to feature an honest liftback, though SaabsUnited.com says this particular vehicle was drawn up as part of a business plan in early 2011. As such, Castriota apparently told the site the final product was to look much more athletic than what we see here. While the low-resolution images make it difficult to tell much about the design, we certainly appreciate the familiar roofline, full band taillamps and the contrasting rear spoiler reminiscent of the old Saab 99 and 900 ducktails.
Unfortunately, we know all too well why this creation never saw the light of day. Would-be savior Victor Muller couldn't quite pull Saab out of its nosedive, and the company fell into bankruptcy before the 9-3 Phoenix could get off the ground. There's talk of the Phoenix platform and Saab brand having new life in other markets as EVs and even as gas cars, but the model seen here will likely never see production - let alone North American showrooms.
