It’s been a while, but we vaguely recall this commercial from back in 1995 that was made to illustrate just how stiff the chassis was on the SAAB 900.

In the spot, Saab had five hulking men flip the car over onto its roof to prove the point that the car would hold up to even a rollover crash.

This wasn’t the first time SAAB rolled over a car to prove its crashworthiness. In this 1960s spot for the SAAB 96, they rolled a car down a mountainside. Apparently, a driver got in the car at the end and drove it off, but that was cut off from the YouTube clip:

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.
