AB's Special Vehicles Operations team and the Oxfordshire, England-based TWR
Group. Viggens were only made from 1999-2002 and were only available with a
standard transmission, and very limited colors A high-powered version of the Saab 9-3 was the
"Viggen" (English: Thunderbolt). It was named after the Saab 37
Viggen aircraft. Production ended in 2002. It came with a turbocharged 2.3 L engine, (B235R) giving 225
bhp (168 kW; 228 PS) later 230 bhp (172 kW; 233 PS) on 1.4 bar (20 psi) of
boost from its Mitsubishi TD04-HL15-5 turbocharger. Acceleration from 0–100
km/h could be reached in 6.4 seconds and the top speed is electronically
limited to 250 km/h (160 mph).[citation needed] To provide and handle the high
power and performance, the following elements were changed/modified: Higher capacity
intercooler, Higher performance tuned ECU, Larger flow-through exhaust system Heavy duty clutch and
pressure plate, Stiffened and lowered
springs, Firmer dampers, Stronger CV joints and driveshafts In addition to extra
power and torque, it also featured a special rear wing (increasing the
downforce by 50%) requiring relocation of the radio antenna, aerodynamically
designed bumpers and side skirts reducing the drag coefficient by 8%, specially
bolstered and colored leather seats (available in four colors: black with black
inserts (charcoal), black with blue inserts (deep blue), black with orange
inserts (flame ochre), and tan with tan inserts), sportier suspension, bigger
wheels, upgraded brakes, and other upgraded parts. The Viggen was only available with a five-speed manual
transmission, CD player, power moonroof, and (what were initially)

What brands have Saab owners defected to? Polk investigates
Sun, 02 Sep 2012When a brand goes belly-up, it's natural for analysts to wonder where that brand's consumers will turn. General Motors has mothballed more car brands the last decade than most other automakers' have in their entire portfolios, so "Where did [insert brand here] buyers go?" has been a common question asked of The General. According to reports, it didn't do so well at retaining Oldsmobile owners (who supposedly went to Hyundai), or Hummer and Saturn buyers, but did get some return love from Pontiac owners.
A consultant with Polk has turned the loyalty lens on Saab. The Polk Disposal Loyalty Methodology tracks owners selling vehicles within six months of buying a new one. In 2010 and 2011, Polk found that when Saab died, owners went right up the middle of the mainstream to Honda. It was close, though, with just 0.2 percent separating Honda from number two Volkswagen. Audi comes in third.
After that it's back to the masses with Toyota, Chevrolet and Ford trumping import luxury brands. And if you combine all of the General Motors brands that Saab owners have migrated to, GM more than doubles Honda with a 15.2-percent share, so all the love is not lost.
Court extends Saab reorganization bid until end of November
Fri, 10 Oct 2014Saab parent company National Electric Vehicle Sweden refuses to go down without a fight. After a recent trip to court, the company is emerging with an extension on its reorganization until November 29. According to Europe Online Magazine, there's also an appointed committee of creditors and union representatives to monitor NEVS' restructuring process.
NEVS still isn't giving up hope of saving itself, and the company claims there are has two potential strategies for getting back on its feet. The main plan is to "finalize the negotiations with the two Asian automotive manufacturers," according to a press release. Those firms still aren't identified, but Mahindra may be involved. According to Europe Online Magazine, one of the businesses is looking to take partial ownership of NEVS, and the other is considering some sort of cooperation with it.
If that plan fails, the second option is to take advantage of the factory and become a contract manufacturer.
Spyker to appeal dismissal of Saab lawsuit against GM
Fri, 21 Jun 2013It seems as if Spyker CEO Victor Muller has made a decision on whether or not to pursue a legal battle between his company and General Motors. Spyker has announced it will appeal a US District Court decision to throw out the company's lawsuit against GM. As you may recall, on June 10 Judge Gershwin Drain ruled tht GM had a right to approve or disapprove Spyker's sale of Saab to Zhejiang Youngman Lotus Automobile. Spyker sued GM for some $3 billion, claiming that the American automaker had forced Saab into bankruptcy by stopping Spyker from transferring intellectual property to its Chinese partner.
Spyker has said only that it plans to appeal the decision. Until now, the company has been silent about the ruling. GM, meanwhile, has said it is pleased with the original outcome. You can read the quick Spyker press release below for more information.
