Saab USA is working to strengthen our acclaimed European Delivery Program. This delivery option, which will incorporate new components, will be available for 2009 Saab vehicles. So why have five tabs on your site for euro delivery? If it's so acclaimed, why drop it for a year?

My first 9-5....99 version, was a head turning auto that I absolutely loved. 3 year lease was up and I went with the redesigned 9-3 in 02...A few first year model quirks, nothing major, then along comes the new owners and there goes the Saab brand. Pathetic customer service almost immediately. I had too many experieces with the GM ification of Saab and have since moved on to other brands. My heart is still with the 9-5, if it is ever updated. I am also hoping that GM drops the brand and let's a real car company assume the helm. Until then, I occassionally dust off a photo of the metallic blue gem and reminisce of the great rides on Hwy 1 in Marin.
