These two icons represent Saab’s genesis and final chapter—each a testament to the brand’s design ethos, engineering heritage, and enduring appeal among enthusiasts.

Once a stronghold for Saab, Norway now faces a steep decline in registered vehicles, with fewer than 10,000 Saabs left on the road.

Enthusiasts fight to keep the legacy alive, but the numbers tell a sobering story.
