Love your enthusiasm dude.. Saab was a really good company. Before GM. Since i have worked for Saab for many years i can give you a cool story. When saab made the 9-3 sportswagon they got very strict instructions from GM on what they could spend money on. For example they should use the opel vectra satnav system. When the car was ready and some bigshots from GM where in Sweden to check it out, they discovered that in the car was a completely other satnav system alltogether. A much, much better system, designed and built by Saab. Of course they asked what the hell was going on, and the answer they got from the Saab technitions where simple: the system from the opel sucked. So they built a good one..
That is great. GM tried to tell them how to do things, SAAB looked at what GM wanted, and gave GM the middle finger
Wow
when gm owned 50% they wanted the interior to be gm but saab thought the interior was too bad so when gm sat down in the car they Said this is not our interior
The 9000 was the best saab
According to Jeremy Clarkson (while he was still hosting for Top Gear) the reason why GM actually sent somebody out to Sweden was that the project was getting too expensive and the "suites in Detroit" wanted to know why. Unless I'm mistaken, I believe Saab spent over $2 million dollars on that system. I can imagine that it is probably the biggest fuck you General Motors ever received.
Forgot about the Saab 9000 though... Those were legit kings of the road back in the days.
Andreas Heed and the sonnets!
Yes
My first car was a 9000 CSE :)
got a 94 9000 aero myself and even though it's an auto its pretty quick for what it is
Best car In WORLD 1994 9000 CSE
Does GM kill pretty much everything?
YES
GM is the EA of the car industry
@@ironman1181 does GM has Microtransactions and Lootboxes? but in all other way, you are fucking right!
GM is like King Midas - only that whatever they put their fingers on turns to - well; you figure the correct term for 'nothing of any use' !
Yes. They sold Opel because of to low profit. Whilst also selling rebadged opels as Chevrolets with slightly Different design for cheaper. And totally not understanding european markets. So the consequence: sell opel and pull chevy (except cprvette) out of europe/at least germany. If you are thinking "wait, but then they can't sell cars to germans anymore, except those five Cadillacs a year" then you're.... absolutely right. Oops. GM also insisted on Opel selling a few rebadged cars that all sucked and after probelms occured (ex. Sintra crashtest...), only then opel was allowed to develope their own car...
At least the frontera was kinda good. But sintra, Antara and some others sucked. Oh, and they basically killed Vauxhall in the 80s/90s and made them sell only Opels with Different badges and no personality anymore.
GM is like the EA of car manufacturers! 😭
In terms of killing their companies yeah. But in terms of overpriced DLCs? Nah.
GM ITS IN THE SHOP!
More like the British Leyland of the American motor industry...🧐
@@ultraguy8771 That tittle, the EA of DLC's, goes to Porsche
Overpriced DLC is Opel Signum and Opel Speedster.
Saab: Born from Jets. Killed by A$$holes! (GM)
It didn't help that Saab was sucking GM dry financially. They were given vehicles and told to change the badging and body and instead Saab spent millions reengineering the vehicles. However, they did make them somewhat better. I'll take a 9-7x Aero over a Trailblazer SS any day. My 06 9-7x Arc had some quirky problems but it sounded, handled, and performed better than it's GM counterparts - Chevy Trailblazer, Buick Rainier, Oldsmobile Bravada, GMC Envoy, AND Isuzu Axiom.
@@nrgzrbny "somewhat better" is the understatement of the century
@@nrgzrbny my opel vectra got so raped by saab aero (its kinda the same car) gm should have just let saab make the cars and rebadge theirs XD
@RavenousElf the transfer case control motor was a joke. Mine broke and it locked the front output. I had to replace the seal and CV half-shaft due to pitting from crow-hopping during slow speed turns. They should have just used the Torsion limited slip xfer case out of the Aero/SS on all models.
It also wreaked havoc in the snow. Doing 35mph, front output engaged. Everything fine. Person in front of me hits the brakes, I slow down, front output disengaged, rear wheels lose traction and speed up, front output engages, car jerks around in the snow and slides out of my lane. Over and over and over. Ended up on the side of the road slowly getting closer the cliff edge as I tried turning around. Never drove it in snow again.
I owned 12 SAAB's, and each of them were great! They never let me down. I love SAAB.
Idem : I owned 7.
loved and miss my 2003 95 aero
“You could get it in any color as long as it was green” is one of the top ten things you’ve said I love it
Dude!!!! You forgot Saab 9000!!! The best Saab ever! I have one :-D Also you talk about Viggen and show a Gripen. Just sayin'.. AND you forgot to say that Koenigsegg wanted to buy Saab just before the end! That would have been way cool....
And not to forget that the company was sold to Spyker, which didn't have deep enough pockets to turn things around. And then it was sold to NEVS.
I have a 9000 as well. 2.3 turbo, (mildly worked) its a weapon, reliable, cheap and comfortable. Im always amazed how well it goes for a 4 cylinder. I love driving it.
@@bpg786 Nice to hear! Yes, I also love the handling and the power. Best car ever!
Nah 900og best Saab ever.

I have driven a SAAB 9-3 Aero and that car was no joke. It even had "Night Mode" where it would turn off the gauges except the speedometer and the instrument panel lights except the speedometer lights just by pressing a button.

Sebby Kaiser how do you like it so far? I’m looking at buying an 06
@@jeremyclark4474 Make sure you're buying one with only a couple mechanical faults. Besides new brakes, my Saab needed a new coil, motor mount, rear shocks, and I still can't figure out why it only goes into 3rd and 4th. 300K on the odo but no major electrical problem. Always starts in the cold. It's a cool car and it's fun to work on.
Sebby Kaiser the one I’m looking at has 111k, 2nd owner. So I’m hoping it’s in good condition
@@jeremyclark4474 Auto Autopsy has a good video on common issues with the B207 motors. It was a big help when I was buying mine because I had the comfort of knowing what was wrong with it lol
Hey! I had. 2005, I did a vid on how to clear the AC drain, which is a common issue. I no longer have mine, I got a mustang, but if Saab ever makes another car I'll be the first bastard in there to buy one. Damn I loved those cars. My 99 9-3 (I had 2 actually) was just fantastic. Just a great car for the money.
I never really had a favorite car brand until i tried my dad's 9-3. Such an amazing and reliable car even though it's a GM. I now own it and can't keep my eyes or mind off it
Got my first 9-3 2.0t with no problems cheap reliable car

A volvo 240
@@tarnan6001 well a 240 is a nice car but it cannot compete with the performance and safety of a saab 9-5 aero. But yes the 240 will probably be cheaper but saabs are still a bargain. We have a 250hp aero (in really good shape) which had 115.000 km (~71.500 miles) on it when we got it. That car cost us 2500€ (~2800 usd). I think you cant beat that

Maaaaaan, you dropped the ball big time by not mentioning the only other 100% Swedish built Saab.. The 9000! This was a car that in 1993 when they came out with the Aero (sport) Edition, the Aero was capable of accelerating from 80 to 121 km/h (50 to 75 mph) faster than a Porsche Carrera 4 or a Ferrari Testarossa Not only that, but the car would get 32 mg on the highway from it's 2.3L Turbocharged engine and regularly push the speedometer past it's 155 mph printed number then past the last notch that would be 160 and pin the needle to the odometer reset button which was when judging by eye, would be another 10 mph at the least. All in stock form! I witnessed one with 170k miles on it do that speed with all five seats occupied, 4 windows down and sunroof open! Truly an amazing car and by fat the best Saab ever produced. I can vividly remember my dentist complaining when he traded in his 9000 with 200k miles on it for a brand new ( General Motors designed and built) Saab 9-3. He honestly went back to the dealership after owning th 9-3 for 2 days and demanded his old 9000 back only to have them say that the car was sent to auction. They set him up with a 9-5 Aero to try to give him a car that would compare to his 9000 and he was still disappointed. Oh, and when you gawk about the Viggen… it used the same engine as the 9000 Aero but stuck it in a GM built, flexible wantabe "sports car" chassis. The 9000 was designed so the center of the weight distribution was located at the drivers hips... essentially, as you cornered, you felt as if you were part of the car. I still own three of the,.. a first model year 93' 5 speed, a 94' 5 speed and a last model year 97' automatic. I'll never sell them... that is until 20-30 years from now when they are worth three times their $44,000 sticker price when they rolled off the showroom floor. Anyone who has ever owned one will back me up. The only other Saab that holds a stick to the 9000 Aero that Saab produced is a 900 SPG. I own 2 of those also!
Thats great! I own a 97 2.3t 9000 a50 with 255 BPH, and I love it!

Here's the tldr. It was a super cool mini Corvette. They're fantastic in the snow, and as far as show cars go it's be a great option. Wasn't ever a huge amount, but the ones that exist today are dope af. I'd love to have one to take to car shows, as a huge Saab fan, but not in the budget currently.

I have a 2004 Saab 93 Aero that I have named Saabrina. People think Saabs are pretty dorky and such but I think they're pretty neat. I actually never knew the history before getting Saabrina but as a lover of airplanes, I just enjoy her heritage even more. Your video was awesome !
Im a year late but hear me out:
Imagine if Saab was like the Mustang in it's dark years on this date, and that Saab will return one day
One can only hope!
Hoho i hope that day will come!
My biggest dream would come true.
Im hoping with you
Saab May be returning. I heard koinegsegg has partnered with NEVS and are preparing something for the Chinese market. There is hope at last.
Rip saab
Clashing Racer fuck spyker
f
Fuck GM.
At least Spyker understood what the Saab brand was and gave it all they had and actively planned an extended model range.
GM were absolutely clueless of what a Saab was only ever launched three new models over a period of nineteen years. I mean seriously, Saab was about sporty cars with a rally heritage and cool engineering. The absolutely first thing GM should've done when buying into Saab was to develop 4WD models and a new sports car. Instead, they gave those funds to Opel.
and damn you GM! >_

Thanks! Loved it. Although in my opinion you missed their greatest car the 9000 / 9-5. I had 2 of them, what a joy to drive. I used to zip around DC beltway traffic like it was standing still. Quality and Attention to detail was off charts, only car company I know of that had pink insulation in the doors. They were reliable only major work was a head gasket and clutch. At 170K miles i'm not complaining.
I’ve watched this video like 29 times. It is always so exiting to see so much love for SAAB. Still not over the fact that GM killed them.
They need to redo it. Saab can’t be summed up in a 7 minute video.
That little Saab at the beginning was actually the first transverse front engine FWD car, not the Mini as most people would believe.
hmmm interesting. thanks for the info.
Next time Lancia? Fulvia, Delta, Strato's, 037, Thema Ferrari. There's plenty of material. #savelancia
Don't forget the Aprilla and Aurelia homie.
Got our brand new SAAB 9-3 red convertible anniversary model in 2002, absolutely still love it, looks like new, fun to drive, will never get rid of it. Love SAAB.
Something VERY SPECIAL for Saab was one of there Engines. Have you ever heared about the Saab SVC Engine? what the Japanese are doing and planing now, saab was making it at 2001. the first steps to a self Ignition Benzin Engine....Ok it was a Engine with variable Compression. A ratio from 14:1 to 8:1 by angling the Cylinder Head up to 4 degrees. 5 Cylinders 1,6l and over 300 Nm with 225 HP with the same fuel consuption as a normal 1,6l engine. and that in 2001. GM those Money Cunts striked the project down, cause of too much money (what a surprise).
saab had it, the engine was working, they used it in a 9-5 wagon. Imagine Saab would still exist or the engine was build in as a special Edition for 9-5 and 9-3. I love Saab so much for that!
I and we all should hate GM for that. The main inventor of the planned obsolescence, the shame as a car company, ruiner of so much beautiful in the car world (beside ecologicals)
GM SHOULD GO TO HELL FOREVER!!! (and tell the devil that for sure more Companies follow)

Thank you for doing a video on Saab. They are such a misunderstood and under appreciated car. I have had seven Saab's in the last 4 years and I do not plan to discontinue that trend.

Here's the thing about Saab's. Once you own one, you get the Saab bug. After owning my '06 9-3 for a few years, I spent last year looking online and craigslist daily for another saab which is how I ended up finding a very low mileage '07 9-3 convertible. I'd love to own some 9-5's and some 900's too haha.
I had a 900 Turbo for about a year and a half as kind of a project. It was a real bastard to fix some stuff but I loved driving it. If you get a chance to own one you should
My first car was a '92 900. Caught the Saab bug instantly! Have since owned an '06 9-3, but was just desperate to have a pre-GM Saab back in my life, so now run a '97 9000 50th Anniversary alongside it. Awesome cars. But so much better pre-GM!
my dad had a 900 in brown i love it i named it Mr brown
Bought an '01 9-3S off my cousin, slowly going through the car and fixing/upgrading everything I touch on it. Thanks to the experience working on the 9-3 I started helping a friend with his '01 9-5, nearly ended up buying it from him so I would have a 4 door car again (I have 3 cars, all are 2 door cars...), I've narrowly avoided buying it but now find myself looking for a OG900 to tinker with :D

Unique and distinctive. No focus groups no marketing no one builds cars like this today . I would love to pick up a mid 80’s SPG. I deeply miss Saab.
I still have dreams about driving my old 900S. There was nothing fast about it, but there was something about taking it on winding roads through the woods at night that excited me in a way that no other car has since. In 2015 I pulled out on a country road and got T-boned at 50 mph by a Ford Explorer with tow hooks on the front. The airbags didn't deploy and the driver door was caved in, but I walked away without a scratch. Saabs are some of the best cars ever made.

this is actually a really great format for people to learn about cars and the history of them. good content
As a SAAB fan this was emotional, Thanks guys i guess all good things must come to an end
While stationed in Germany, I bought a 1983 SAAB 900 Turbo 4-door with Amaranth color. Put 198,000 on the car over 17 years and it still looked new when I gave it away. My late wife cried when I gave it away. Drove the car all over Europe and the U.S. Great Winter car. Would plow through the snow, never needed snow tires, heated seats and was good handling. Put the rear seats down and could load the heck out of it. Great gas mileage!
I worked for a SAAB dealer when it was relaunched here in New Zealand. They (the 900i, 9000CS/CD/AERO) were so understatedly brilliant. Had one customer purchase an 9000 AERO, happy with the performance and power but wanted more. So with factory and Abott Racing (England) enhancements his AERO was insane to drive, by that I mean it wanted to be driven hard. I'll never forget that 9000.
What model also not mentioned was the 900S/SE (with the V6 (a bit nose heavy with a great engine sound)). Then came the 9-3, 9-3 AERO, 9-3 Viggen. Replacing the 9000's was the 9-5, 9-5 V6, 9-5 AERO. I know there's lots more to the later models (9-3, 9-5), like using GM (Opel) platforms, just strengthened to SAABs quality. But let's not forget the 9000 platform was shared Fiat (Chroma), Lancia (Thema), Alfa Romeo (164), and some others I can't think of right now.
Shame such a brand should become just another GM generic.
I love my 07 93!! even tho it's a gm saab. it's awesome! I'm so glad you did a vid on saab! thank you!
Woah woah woah! What about the 9000?? I'm hurt!
Chad Gemzer He's over 9000
And the 95 Aero. Wtf happened, we waited for nothing!
Seriously...... he forgot the best platform Saab made. The 9000 aero was faster than the M3 when it came out. Also the last real Saab ever made.
My dad still drives his 9000i, I too would have wanted to hear about it.
Methinks the 9000 might get it's own episode? Seems too obvious to leave out. Also, early 2000s 9-5s were definitely real saabs.
Wow, great "show"! I'm a picky guy when it comes to UA-cam videos about cars, however as we love SAABs in the family, we got to love your video. (Living in Sweden, you can pick them up for pennies) We have two 9-5's, hence the interest in your video. Keep up the good work.

I HAVE BEEN WAITING. I’ve seen that Saab in the background of up to speeds for a while. Your fellow 9-3 owner! 🤟🏽
Nathan Archuleta Cheers from a 9-5 owner! :)
Cheers for another 9-3 owner :)
Cheers from a Volvo owner who once rode in a Saab and has very high opinions of the 9-3!!
Charles Conto Hehe not too unfamiliar 😉
TheMagDude agreed lol!
I grew up in my parents 9-5 and I adore it to this day. I've gone off the road in both this and a Ford S-Max and I can tell you all the SAAB has a certain reassuring atmosphere, it not only is safe, it feels safe as you drive along. The only problem it has is the B205 engine, which is less reliable than the more powerful B235.
My favorite of all time..... Saab has a special place in My heart.... The 900 Turbo -88
pls just do the Toyota Celica
Nobody ever mentions the 9000. :(
Well done GM, u did it again
Really though, thanks for such a nice video, makes me love my 2011 Saab even more. Could you do a Peugeot episode one day? 🤘🏼
it sucks that saab had to die. Wish the americans never got their hands on saab. Im sure it would they would have been still around today if it wasnt for GM.
MyniRS-Helgrem no Saab killed itself by spending to much and not making it back and gm bought them and kept them afloat
jdr ok RIP Saab

Yeah, they should have sticked together with Scania.
The car sucked
Damn that drifting 9-3 sounds beastly
It was a BMW powered OG 9-5
9-5, not 9-3
So on point!! Well done sirs, cudos from Sweden!
I love my 2007 Saab 93 Aero convertible. It's my 3rd saab. They've all been great.
had a 1998 9-3 2.0t amazing condition and all that, but there where few issues, first off the seating position is super bad, the shifter is almost at the floor you would have to reach for it, steering wheel had minimal adjustment. tl;dr not meant for big boys.
tony your maker 187cm
Thats not "big boy" at all thats just average height atleast here in norway
Sigurd Berget so height is the only thing that matter when it comes to size? are you stupid or stupid lol?
Should of got a 9,5
i now have a volvo s60, perfect seating.
i always see SAAB designs are weird in a good way.
I love my Saabaru, they shoved the steering racks from the STI's in them and it's the best face option for all WRX type vehicles.
Saab was a unique company with an alternate and impressing vision about cars.
It is a shame nobody rescued Saab.
holy crap a goldberrgs reference its my favorite tv show that none of my friends watch
