Saab Cars
Saab is a Swedish automaker that is a marque of General Motors. Up until 1990, the company was independently owned by SAAB, an acronym for "Svenska Aeroplan AB" (The Swedish Aeroplane Company). Early versions of Saab’s cars found great success in the rally sport racing and created quite a following for the Saab cars. Currently, Saab is trying to boost its North American sales since it’s main sales market is in Europe.
Changes in the Saab Cars Line-Up
In 2009, the 9-3 gets a redesigned dashboard that is at the center of an extensive interior revamp, and the stereo choices have been upgraded. The 2009 9-3 2.0T (T for turbo) model will receive optional all-wheel drive which focuses more on safety and traction than flat-out performance, while the V6-powered 9-3s with XWD get a sophisticated electronically-controlled rear differential. A new 2.0T Sport model will combine the 9-3 Aero's fascias with the 2.0T's mechanical bits. A V6-powered Aero models receives and increase of 30-horsepower bringing the total power output to a very respectable 280 hp. For the 2009 9-5, changes are minimal. The all-new 2010 9-5 expected to hit shores in late 2009, will be larger, more powerful, and oh, more expensive than the current 2009 model.
The Saab warranty on all their 2007 vehicles now covers the powertrain (engine, transmission, and parts that deliver power to the wheels), roadside assistance, and courtesy transportation during warranty repairs for 5 years or 100,000 miles (160,000 km).
