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.

  • Wow. You’ve hit a new low. She almost KILLED someone and you’re making this into a marketing ploy. I will never buy anything from this company or subsidiaries.

    • What is he marketing and did you stop reading half way through? Accidents happen and if you kept reading you would of found out she had a flat tire which could of caused the wreck. Who knows, maybe she’s crazy and shouldn’t be driving, but I’ve seen stulid things even intelligent people have done. The police were wowed by the damage. Are you going to bless them with your disapproval too. Or maybe you think that person who caused the accedent should of died. No matter who caused the accident, it’s amazing how the Saab did it’s job again and protected the driver.
