When I read Mr. Victor Muller's above comments on SWades blog I reported them here: SaabCentral Forums - View Single Post - Victory for Victor
I prefaced Victor Muller's comments by: " What a wonderful difference. Can you imagine the old owners commenting in person on a blog This can only be further proof of the great changes that are coming our way. " Thank you Victor Muller, thank you Spyker. Cheers from near Paris.

The designers at Saab have got to be related to Nostradamus in some way.. How else could you explain that the new 9-5 (first launched before Spyker was in the picture) has Turbine wheels too!!

The turbo turbine has always been a key motif in Saab advertising and design. I'll check but the turbine style wheels have been on Saab concepts for some time.
Two companies that share similar avaition heritage and turbos EDIT: The Saab Aero X Concept was unveiled at the 2006 Paris Show. The first picture is taken at the Trollhattan Museum. I added the last photo of a five spoke which is from a 2003 Saab catalogue. Last edited by DavidMorgan; 03-03-2010 at 15:37.

Saab should offer up a discount or package purchase for existing or soon to be owners of a Spyker...think about it...many of us, including myself, need a daily driver in addition to their beloved Spykers.
What better car than a Saab to fill the void?! Buy a Spyker, get a Saab at an X% discount!

I've been thinking about your idea and it has only positive aspects. Saab has always had a special Diplomatic Sales department. I am familiar with this in Paris. It means that when a diplomat, whatever nationality, is on post in Paris he can contact Saab Rive Gauche and buy the car tax free but also with a substantial discount reserved for Diplomats... This is to ensure that Saabs get a good visibility in a certain society, a form of discrete passive advertising. If a Spyker owner has the possibility to purchase a fully loaded 9-5 the Saab will be seen and as you will be very happy with it this may well result in others being sold. Obviously you would also choose to buy one for family members and maybe as company cars. I think that you are in the best position to negotiate this but you may wish to move this subject to the Owner's forum so that the common enthusiasts don't get jealous  David.

Hey, may entice them to be both Spyker AND Saab owners
On a more serious note, I would love to trade in my Audi A6 for something Saab has to offer as my 3rd car. Quote:

Here is an interview with Henrik Fisker, published in 'Swedish magazine auto motor och sport'. Interesting man, with his electric vehicles coming up (Karma). I'm a small fan because he is responsible for finishing the db9's design. But here's what he has to say on Saab.
A different track. Saab is a small car manufacturer that is also trying to survive on his own feet. What do you think about Saab's possibilities? "When I was small my relatives were Saab drivers , I grew up with Saab. But sadly the brand has lost it's character. The toughest thing for Saab is to survive the 4-5 years before they are coming with completely new and exciting products." What do you think about Spyker's owner? "The best thing of Spyker is that they are not normal. Spykers are not like other supercars. I know Victor Muller and he is not completely normal. That is very good for Saab! But Saab has to be much different or else they have no right of existence"

Illustrated history of Saab motor cars.
In yesterday's edition of AutoBild.de there is an article of limited interest about an idea for a 9-1.
But if you skip the first two pictures you will discover 79 more excellent photos illustrating the history of Saab. I can't understand German ... but I'm sure that won't be a problem for most of you.  Saab 9-1 für 2013 - Mit dem 9-1 aus der Krise - News - autobild.de Cheers, David
