Or maybe even 'Au Revoir' :wink:

Shame to see them go as I always rather liked Saabs. Just a bit different from your boring Mercs and Beemers.

Shame that. It just goes to show how a once great brand goes up the spout when bought by the wrong people...

Very sad day indeed, especially for me.
I am a SAAB nut, and also used to run my own Saab business.
"The Saab Clinic".

Ive owned 2x 99 Turbo's, 3x 900 Turbo's, and 3x 9000 Turbo's.
The last of which was a nutter supped up 9000 Aero that would out accelerate a Diablo from 0 to 100.

A real shame, they made some great cars (before GM took over in 98).
2016 Mercedes A200d 2.2 AMG, 7sp DCT.
2003 Renault Laguna II 3.0 24v V6 Diamonique Auto.
