Like the rhyming headline? I haven’t featured any reviews for a little while as they were all starting to blend into one another. Given that we’ve had a bit of a break, though, I thought it OK to bring these onto the front page. From Australia: Here we have Drive.com.au’s coverage...

This just in from Jan-Willem Vester over at Saab USA HQ. Bloomberg has managed to pull out just about every hackneyed Swedish / Saab reference in the book while delivering a very forgettable, shallow review of the TurboX. It’s almost like Mr. Harper, the author, wrote the article to fill it...

Back in the day, a write-up in Motor Trend was the ticket to automotive notoriety. I was a subscriber in the 1970’s and 1980’s, and I learned a lot from reading those articles about cars that I’d never seen and perhaps never would see. I think that a little of the gild is off the lily so to...

I’ll drop all pretence of actually writing today and I’ll simply reproduce the press release here. Time doesn’t permit a lot of editorializing, so simply take this as a good thing. I’m assuming that the course is similar to the Aero Academy since it’s held at the same venue and the cars are...

If you wish to view the complete Saab USA Media Kit for the 2008 Saab TurboX, you may visit my Flickr site here for the scanned booklet or here for the high-res digital photos. Enjoy! </img>

I’ve just posted my photos from the media drive on my Flickr page, as some of you (Robin) have requested. The edited photos may be found here. The complete unedited set may be found here. Enjoy! </img>

While in Boston this week, we “social media” journos hacks were treated to a comprehensive presentation about the Haldex XWD system and why it’s an important development for Saab in its core markets: Northern Europe and the Northeastern US. The reason: it’s great in wet and snowy conditions...

At the risk of complete over exposure of this car on Trollhattansaab (there are posts here, here, here and here), I’ve got a few photos of my own to contribute to the ever-growing pile. Folks, it’s that good. It’s perfect, perhaps even more perfect than any Saab ever was driving off the...

Here’s a great pic of our pal Gunnar Heinrich and his photog sidekick Kevin Kusina ready to launch a Saab TurboX around the improvised track in North Andover, Massachusetts. As Swade has mentioned previously, Gunnar’s treatment of the event is much more polished than mine. Kudos to him...

Finally, I’ve had a chance to edit and post some of the better pictures of my road car — a Saab TurboX SportCombi equipped with a six-speed manual transmission. Beautiful drive. Once again, some of my photography efforts were thwarted by the blazing midday sun, and I’m certainly no...

One of the great revelations of this week’s meeting with Steve Shannon and Jan-Willem Vester was their commitment to “strengthen” the Saab marketing message. According to Mr. Shannon, the upcoming marketing campaign will still play on the Saab aircraft heritage, but will be focused on Saab’s...

If you’ve missed the last day or so here at Trollhattan Saab, I’ve been fortunate enough to drive the new Saab TurboX in the Boston area in the last 24 hours. Here are a few shots of the fleet of TurboX cars at the dealership prior to our departure. I’ve also thrown in a couple of shots of...

During the course of the Saab media drive for the TurboX I managed to drive the car, in various permutations, for more than three hours. Quite remarkable for a day scheduled for only six hours of activity. Each drive was distinct and I’ve separated them for clarity and order. Segment One...

In the 45 minutes or so that I have prior to boarding the flight to the Delta Airlines hub in Cincinnati, I’ll get things kicked off with a brief overview of the days events: WOO HOO!!! Now, on to the details: First impressions of the Saab TurboX: The Saab TurboX rocks, and in a...

Photo Credit: Saab Automobile AB The 2008 Saab 9-3 Turbo-X is what is referred to as the “halo” vehicle for Cross-Wheel Drive (XWD) for the Saab Automobile Brand. Having had the chance to briefly test drive a prototype last summer, here in the Washington, D.C. area, I was certainly brought up...
