If you drive a Saab 9-3 Convertible and have yet to discover how much more enjoyable open top motoring can be with a Wind Deflector, make sure you do not miss out on a special offer at participating Saab dealers this spring. Wind tunnel tests show that at 60mph with the top down, Saab’s Wind Deflector reduces forward wind speed between the front seats and between the door and driver’s seat by at least 75 per cent. the full story
The Saab 9-X BioHybrid has been named “Best Concept” at the Geneva Motor Show. With this award, the 9-X BioHybrid joins the very successful Saab Aero X concept which also received AutoWeek’s “Best in Show” honours at its debut in Geneva two years ago. the full story
Saab's future starts here, with the “defining moment” launch of the 9-X BioHybrid concept on the eve of the Geneva Show, according to GM Europe design vice-president Mark Adams. Beyond the innovative powertrain technology under the skin of the car, the real story is the skin itself – a “dramatic reinterpretation” of the Saab design DNA, Adams said. The Saab 9-X points the way toward a future compact Saab – a competitor for the Audi A3 and Volvo C30 in a fast-growing part of the European market. The concept has evolved from the earlier AeroX concept, and features strong elements of the Saab “brand DNA”, including a wraparound front windscreen and a thick C-pillar incorporating an extending aerodynamic spoiler that automatically deploys once the car reaches 70kmh. the full story
