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.

Saab’s Incredible Survival: Nearly 190,000 Cars Still Roaming Sweden’s Roads

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 and the Emily GT: The Battle to Keep Saab’s Legacy Alive

NEVS may be in hibernation, but the fight to keep Saab’s engineering legacy alive continues through the Emily GT.

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.
