Saab 9-5ng

A few weeks ago, the Saab community from Taiwan was again in the spotlight of the world public, when one of the automotive magazines mentioned a story about Taiwanese Saab showrooms (under the title “SAAB Dealer In Taiwan Refuses To Abandon Customers Over A Decade After The Brand Died”) – which we published exactly one year ago in the text “New Saab Cars Sales and Service Center in Taiwan“. After that, this “news” was reported by numerous world automotive websites and blogs, which contributed to the increase in the number of posts with Saab cars as the main topic.

Certainly, thanks to the local company Scandinavia Asia Corporation (“SAC”), many owners of Saab cars can enjoy driving Swedish cars thanks to a wide active network of service centers. In one of these Saab service centers, a 2011 Saab 9-5ng was completely restored at the owner’s request. This Saab story, like the previous ones from Taiwan, was brought to us by Mr. Salo Yang, so we are passing it on to you here.

She used to drive more than 600 km every weekend to visit her parent and drives it as a commuter car. So, the milage has reached 404.516 km. Unfortunately, the car had a front and rear-end collision last month.

Still, She decides to not just restore it but repaint the whole car. The decision to preserve this car was logical because this car is one of the most important things that binds her to her parent. She said that she did too, and her father really misses keeping this car in good condition, as well as the daily driving that he still remembers.

As you can see in the photos and video, experts from the SAC company have completely restored the old glory of this exceptional Swedish car of the last generation.

For over 15 years, Goran Aničić has been passionately focused on Saab automobiles and everything related to them. His initial encounter with Saab cars took place back in 2003 when the first Saab 9-3 and sedan version were introduced. At that moment, he was captivated by the car's Scandinavian design logic and top-notch engineering, and everything that followed stemmed from that first encounter. Later on, through his work at the editorial team of the Serbian automotive magazines "Autostart" and later "AutoBild," he had the opportunity to engage more closely with Saab vehicles. In 2008, he tested the latest Saab cars of that time, such as the Saab 9-3 TTiD Aero and Saab 9-3 Turbo X. In 2010, as the sole blogger from the region, he participated in the Saab 9-5ng presentation in Trollhättan, Sweden. Alongside journalists from around the world, he got a firsthand experience of the pinnacle of technological offerings from Saab at that time. Currently, Goran owns two Saabs: a 2008 Saab 9-3 Vector Sportcombi with a manual transmission, and a Saab 9-3 Aero Griffin Sport Sedan from the last generation, which rolled off the production line in Trollhättan in December 2011.

  • I’m sure some people underrated the last 9-5 series I believe it was based on the GM Insignia platform but got to say these car’s still catch my eye when I see one. 🙂👍

  • To Andreas Johansson >
    Yup, the Chinese. Ever asked yourself, “Whom bought up all the designs to the bodies, engines, electrical systems?” Those SAAB designs were sold by GM to a Chinese conglomerate.

  • This 9-5 model still looks
    current at 13 years old.
    Hell, it looks better then
    say 90% of current
    automakers offerings.
    Timeless design.
    Way to go Saab!
