Swiss TV channel Alpha presented the interesting TV report about Saab cars and Saab fans,  entitled “SAAB est morte, vive SAAB” or in english – “Saab is dead, long live Saab!“.

Here’s what they wrote in the announcement of this show: “Born just after the Second World War, the SAAB brand no longer exists after its bankruptcy. But there are still a few enthusiasts of this car, like Dimitri Baumgartner, who presented this story this weekend, at the Interregional Center for Improvement of Tramelan, during the traditional gathering of lovers of car models. The first SAAB car was created by aeronautics specialists, who, according to legend, did not even have their driver’s licenses. The first SAAB model was marketed in 1949…”

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.
