SAAB story

In truth, I've always been a fan of the quirkiness of Saab. They have diligent followers and there is nothing more quintessential than a Saab convertible for the Summer. It's actually one of the few convertibles that skews neither masculine nor feminine...but that's another post.





These days, Saab is struggling to maintain an identity, after years of being a bastardized version of both Chevy's and Subarus. Sad. It seems that Saab may soon die unless they can work out a deal with of course, the Chinese.





I came across this picture today which inspired this post, and of course I can't neglect my friend Steph who this morning inspired me to get blogging again. (Hmm, she also invited me to the Kennett Square 5k in September, so now we're jogging and blogging.)

I'm not exactly sure when this was officially published, but it's just odd. Part VW Golf, part Lincoln MKX, part Saab. I want to like it, but no.

Stay tuned for the upcoming Saab 94x which is admittedly a reskinned and retuned Cadillac SRX - the articles I've read say it's very much a Saab, but since I know the background, I can't look at with unbiased eyes.

My blogging is a bit rusty, so if this post bored you, give me a little time to get back into the swing of things. As my friends know, I never am short for car commentary. :-)
