Sadly, ran into black ice or slippery oil on interstate in West Virginia Christmas Eve and lost control, went in semi-circle across lanes and landed against concrete rail facing oncoming traffic. Another vehicle did same thing shortly after me… a difficult experience to have it totaled especially when I wanted it to last for years to come…miss it a lot.

My third Saab and my favorite!

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.

  • As someone whose much loved Saab 9-3 Convertible has recently given up its life for mine I know exactly how you feel. I was rear-ended whilst stopping to let a police car on its way to an emergency on to a roundabout. I estimate the other driver was doing at least 30mph to my almost stationery.

    Even though I’ve replaced it with a Turbo-X Wagon, I still miss my convertible and I’ll never forget the fun times we had.
