A 1989 Saab 900i 16V stolen in Germany has been dramatically recovered after a reckless high-speed chase. The thief, a local under the influence of drugs, crashed the car into a ditch, leaving behind a destroyed ignition lock and a smoke-filled interior. Thanks to the Saab community’s swift action, the car was located just 20 km from its owner’s home. While the damage is repairable, this story is a testament to Saab’s resilience and the power of its passionate enthusiasts.

A Collector’s Sleeper: The Saab 9000 Anniversary with Serious Potential Few cars embody the essence of Saab’s engineering and performance...
Saab’s presence on Swedish roads is steadily shrinking, but with nearly 190,000 registered vehicles, the brand's legacy remains strong. The Saab 9-3 and 9-5 dominate the fleet, while rare models like the 9-2X and 9-4X are nearing extinction. Scrappage rates are accelerating, with over 1,000 Saabs disappearing every month, making preservation efforts more critical than ever. As Sweden's Saab population declines, will these iconic cars still be around in the next decade?
NEVS may be in hibernation, but the fight to keep Saab’s engineering legacy alive continues through the Emily GT. With passionate figures like CEO Nina Selander and former development lead Frank Smit still advocating for the prototype, and recent visits from industry consultants reigniting interest, the question remains: Will the Emily GT ever hit the streets, or will it remain a symbol of unfulfilled potential? As reports emerge from insiders who have experienced the car firsthand, the world watches to see if this Saab-inspired EV can secure the backing it needs to become reality.
The EU’s proposed End-of-Life Vehicle (ELV) regulation poses a direct threat to Saab owners and classic car enthusiasts by potentially forcing the scrapping of well-maintained, roadworthy vehicles. Saab lovers and automotive heritage advocates are rallying against this directive, arguing that it disregards the sustainability of preserving older cars. With additional tax penalties looming, the future of vintage Saab ownership hangs in the balance. Here’s what you need to know and how you can take action.
