NEVS: Still the Status Quo

It is looking more and more like NEVS‘ valiant attempt to revive Saab has failed. Deep pockets are needed to found (or revive) and run an automaker and it looks like suppliers – already burned by the last Saab meltdown – have run out of patience. Administration was court-approved on Friday.

Reports that NEVS has been refused financial investment by the likes of (recent Ssangyong rescuer) Mahindra and Mahindra perhaps serves only to highlight the problem Saab’s current owners face. Sad, nonetheless.

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.
