True. Most Saab drivers are handsome. They wanted to be unique. I owned a 2008 9-5 Aero. The car was fast on the highway. Only problem was the head gaskets. But honestly it was a pleasure to drive. To be honest I recommend a 2007 Volvo S60 T5 or 2.5t for someone who needs a first car. They have bullet proof head gaskets. And plus the T5 has the same speed performance as the Saab 9-3 or 9-5 Aero. These Volvos have also the same mid range acceleration like the 2004 Subaru STI or 2004 Audi S4. I used to be a car sales manager when I was younger and I can tell you that. The owner of the car dealership was russian and he was very cool. Volvo S60R 2006 2007 and Saabs Aero and bimmers were selling good in Englewood Colorado.

All of you guys are a bit short sighted. Yes GM defunded the company, but had you guys cared to do some research, you find the real reason SAAB ceases to exist as we all knew it, is because of their own stubborn attitude about the way they designed their vehicles. If the parent company that pays your bills says do these things this way, and you proceed to blow the budget to make the car the way you want it, then you're gonna piss them off. Do it continuously and you're eventually gonna need a new investor. SAAB has been owned by: SAAB A.B. Scania Fiat Alpha Romeo Spyker General Motors And currently, BiAC. Every Company including SAAB A.B. (the aircraft division of SAAB) bankrolled SAAB automotive division, and every last one of them sold SAAB for the exact same reason. They didn't want to bankrupt the parent company. SAAB was NOTORIOUS for blowing budgets over design changes to existing platforms which they felt were inferior. Perhaps that's part of the draw to SAAB. They were a no compromises auto maker that always did things their own way. I hated seeing them go when they did too. The then new 9-5 was a super sexy machine. But to solely blame GM for the company going defunct is bunk. SAAB left a sea of empty wallets in their wake in the quest for perfection when they signed deals to parent companies to agree to use existing platforms with minimal modification, to save money and help them survive as well as make the parent company some money to boot. They never did stick to their agreement, and when the parent companies start losing money, they cut their losses and move on. Hopefully they learned a lesson in business partnerships out of it all and BiAC can keep them on the map a while longer, but SAAB going under was their own fault. They literally placed the noose around their own neck and proceeded to willingly leap off the chair .....

I had the first (1985) 9000 in Scotland, bought used at five years of age. Rose Quartz was the imaginative name of the paint colour. Mine used leaded fuel and was rated at 175bhp, not 160. It was fast and comfortable - and economical too, with MPG figures way better than quoted here. (U.K. gallons are bigger than US ones) On leaded fuel its performance was noticeably zippier, without slipping the clutch it was quite capable of breaking traction in second as well as first, (which I didn't make a habit of) but tyres were far from cheap. It had an interesting label on the driver side eye shield. "If it is necessary to cruise the car at any speed over 150mph the tyre pressures should be increased by (I think it was) 10%." But as I enjoy having an actual driving licence, I never explored the need for this... I liked it so much I followed it with 2 more, the second an unblown 2L engined XS and then a 9000 CSE 150bhp low pressure turbo. which was less exciting than the first but in real terms a more pleasant car overall. I sold that one when the miles got to 186k and eight years of excellent service. Now in 2021 if I could find a good example of a 9000 turbo I might be tempted to revisit old times, now I'm old and only do limited miles annually. But like I'll never have another motorcycle I guess another 9000 is most likely in the same class. Nice to dream about but probably an unwise thing to make into reality... I used to drive annually to the South coast, from here a distance of about 530 miles. In these big Saabs I used to arrive after about ten hours or so at the wheel and feel comfortably fresh. The only cars I owned that I can say that about. A terrific driver's car all round.

“The very last true saab” proceeds to ignore that the 9000 is just as hardly a “saab” as a ng9-3 is. Then also likes to ignore that saab used to use a ford made v4. And that our “saab” motors are triumph based. Now we can all agree that the 9-7x and 9-2x arent saabs. But basically every other saab is as saab as anyother, other than the early 2 strokes.

Teemu Selanne had this exact red car. Was givin to him FREE by Saab as he raced for Saab back in Finland! He would drive this car around Winnipeg back in the day and wore the tires down in 2 months!! I would go and pick this car up from his home and take it back to the dealer, change the tires over and take it back to his home!! What a great guy he was too, very friendly.. Eventually Teemu was traded to Annaheim, the dealer got the car back and it sat on the showroom floor in Winnipeg and no interest in a used Saab.. Suddenly someone from Vancouver was interested in it, as soon as they called the dealer and heard it was previously Teemu's car as an added bonus, the guy said sold!!!!

I had a 1990 9000 Turbo, what a great car. Had an amazing amount of room with the seats down. When the turbo came on it was like a rocket. Car was very reliable until the head gasket went at 200K miles. Was pretty easy to work on too, I did most of the maintenance myself. I was considering doing the head gasket but ultimately the car was a bit tired at that point and didn't feel like putting in the effort. This brought back some good memories.

How can it be that this car is almost 30 years old?? Make it stop....!!! Seriously, what a corker this Saab was for its day! Fast, aggressive styling, an advanced motor, good handling and ride, and a roomy, beautifully restrained cabin. My favorite Swedish car, until the Volvo 850 Turbo. I'm very curious about the choices of alternatives that MW suggested though - the Volvo 740 Turbo, okay maybe, but an Infiniti Q45? I don't think potential buyers of either the Q or the 9000 were cross-shopping each other very much. I would have thought a BMW 5-series or Audi 90 might have been more realistic alternative choices for this very desirable car (to me).

The Saab 9000s may not have had Japanese-levels of reliability but their overall reliability was on-par with rivals from Volvo and other Euro makers of the day. The basic chassis was also used on the underpinnings for the Alfa Romeo 164, which was definitely not noted for having good reliability. Saab at least put some effort into it.

GM offered SAAB a lifeline that SAAB refused. SAAB had never been very profitable and couldn't afford the enormous costs of R&D. It was a niche manufacturer that relied on collaborations with other manufacturers to get new product to market. When General Motors arrived they offered SAAB parts and components from OPEL and other GM divisions. Had SAAB taken what was offered , like Audi and Porsche do with VW components , and developed them they could have made a competitive luxury car that sold at a profit. Instead they insisted on re-engineering everything thus pushing the development costs too high for a car to sell in the market that they were active in. They were never a top tier luxury car. SAAB committed suicide by hubris.

I saw a 1993 9000 cse turbo 5 speed for sale on the side of the road in 2020. I thought the old lady is going to kill me but this is a classic and my 850 turbo wagon is getting tired at 270,000+miles. Never had one but thought they looked cool. My fist Saab! Oh baby that turbo is fast and so fun. Then bpc valve broke. No turbo = slow and no fun. So I read of a 9-5 valve swap and a ecu tune to accept it. Turbo fixed and even more hp power. Fuel pump died. Parked it for 1.5 years now I'm fixing it. I miss that speed. My 4.7 dodge ram is a good truck but she ain't no Saab 9k

One of the few Saabs I have NOT owned. They just don't exist anymore on autotrader, etc. Have had a 9-7X, 9-3 2007, 9-3 2003 vert, 2004 9-5 Aero.

@@MaestroTJS Did it really sell in the US? I recall seeing only one or two in Germany. Saab fans hated them for being against everything Saab was about and considered the 9-7 just another nail in the brand's coffin.

Maestro_T agreed but it was a damn good car. Drove it for 100,000 miles and only had maybe $1500 in repairs after warranty expired. Nothing catastrophic or major, just stupid little things.

No Troll it was one of their better selling models at the time in the US. If I needed another beater SUV I’d probably buy one. Had the 5.3. Very good V8. The Aero is a rare beast and sorry but it’s cool. Stupid and fast SUVs are fun

I had a blunt nose 9KT that I tweaked the APC on. It wasn't as exciting as my other C900T SAABs but it was such a nice car, a Swedish BMW. I also had a 9^3 convertible but it just wasn't the same. I've owned 11 SAABs and miss most of them there were two beater 900s I had that were meh. Currently I DD an '88 535is. BMWs are slightly better cars but SAAB was no joke and I miss them dearly.

Possibly the most versatile car ever made ( missing only amphibious) These were so ahead of it's time, the original design was all drive by wire, even the steering!!! Even in today's standards, these 9000 turbos especially Aero, a well tuned (OEM spec) can still and will, beat most modern car's asses!! Not to be spammy, but if your reading ntjis and interested in Saabs. Check out my shop Saab Replay in NorCal. Sorry we haven't yet got our YT channel going yet, though we are now encouraged by our customers to so, so look out. But IG has some of our Saab 9000 cars in our collection. We are hoping to open a west coast Saab museum. We need your support to keep this Saab thing alive. Cheers!! Thanks MotorWeek!

The first car I ever bought was a certified preowned 2006 SAAB 9-3 which I still love to this day. With that said, I wish I got the "true" SAAB before GM ultimately ran the brand into the ground. Even so, my 2006 was a great car except for some of the interior components. I ended up trading it in on a Volvo S60....

Loved James May/Top Gear's Saab/Alfa limo, which was this model Saab and a 90's Alfa 159. Never knew the two cars were the same damn thing, since we never had the Alfa version here in the states.

The 9000 shares platform with the Alfa 164 which was available in the US from 1990 until Alfa left in 1995. There even is a Motorweek review on the 1994 Alfa 164 on KZbin. The 159 came out in 2005.
