SAAB cars were great, they looked good, had good performance and was fantasticly safe in a crash
Yeah in what world are Saab cars shitty? They’re generally pretty good as far as I know (which, to be honest, isn’t all that far)
Can confirm that SAAB cars are great! Mine is coming up on 19 years old, and apart from some superficial issues still works as well as when it rolled out of the shop. SAAB was also very innovative with their cars, taking a lot of inspiration from their jets, which is clearly seen in their design.

Ah, that explains why I saw a Saab launching Sidewinders on the highway
The best car in Mario Kart
Didn’t they also over-engineer their cars, with things like putting limited-slip differentials on ‘normal’ cars? Thought that was one of the reasons they went under.
They didn’t go under, just stopped making cars for consumers.
Yeah the only real downside is finding parts for them, but they’re proper engineer’s cars.
SAAB cars were good, if not a little quirky
SAAB/GM cars just sucked.

The saabaru! I still miss mine
It would’ve been funnier if the OP pointed out that Saabs are known for being a tank of a car…
Yeah, I drove a Saab for years, that thing was fantastic. Built like a tank and never had any mechanical issues (despite already being ten years old when we got it).
I was under the impression they were similar to Range Rovers, wonderful until they broke.
I thought that was BMW.
Fun fact on Range Rovers, at least in the Uk. They’re quite easy to steal, 90 were stolen in one night. As a result the insurance companies are charging crazy prices and thus many people can’t keep the car so the market is blooded and with used ones.
This is then devaluing the cars and so other people are having trouble selling them as they’ll still owe on the finance.
That’s incredible, and they’re an expensive vehicle when new, so you’d expect them to have good security.
Yeah it’s wild. I wonder if they’ll get lawsuits for essentially selling a vehicle not fit for purpose, due to the insurance issues.
The only problem with them braking is trying to find parts, because they’ve stopped producing them. In terms of having to work on them they’re still generally well designed.
Shitty cars??
Yeah this guy never drived a chad saab car
If they’re so good, how come there is no SAAB 2?
Why do you need a replacement if something is good?
I really think the mad guys made cars because someone dare it to do it. Like they were doing crazy good jets when someone said: Okay this is a great plane but I bet if you do a car it would be awfull. They did it. After few years they realized it wasnt profitable so they ditched SAAB cars because it was a long running joke.
They were so good there was a Saab 9000
And jets! Those canards look so exotic. 🥵
Canards are God damn gorgeous 🤤
Saab the defense company and Saab the car company were two different companies.

Subaru also claims “Love” is what makes Subaru a Subaru. They also manufacture attack helicopters.
Sometimes you need violence to protect what you love.
WHAT’S NOT TO LOVE ABOUT ATTACK HELICOPTERS???
maybe we’ve been approaching this all wrong – are they really vehicles? or were they actually meant to be mobile anti-tank units?
The motto was ‘Born from Jets’ so I always expected a military history for the company.
So what do we call mounting a SAAB on a SAAB?
Saab²
SAABy technicals?
Al-SaSAAB
I dead ass thought these were lightsabers
Rocketsabers
An elegant weapon for a Swedier age.
They should have named their weapon division “SOB” #missedopportunities
Thought those 3 mounted on the wall were lightsabers at first
