Saab

Move Your Mind

Some car companies can be described as luxurious or mainstream. The most applicable term would be quirky when it comes to Saab. Maybe it's the brand's Swedish heritage, perhaps the whole Born From Jets theme set it apart. Saab stands alone because of features like swiveling air vents and an ignition placed between the front seats.

The quirkiness has been diluted under the ownership of General Motors, but efforts have been made to maintain the brand's individuality. The Saab 9-3 Sport Sedan shares its architecture with cars such as the Chevrolet Malibu. The Saab 9-3 SportCombi is essentially a wagon variant of the brand's entry-level sedan; the Saab 9-3 Convertible rounds out the model's lineup. Buyers drawn to the look and feel of the 9-3 who want a bit more vehicle should check out the Saab 9-5, available as the Saab 9-5 SportCombi and Saab 9-5 Sedan.

In an effort to broaden the brand's lineup, General Motors added a couple of new vehicles over the past several years. The 9-2X, based on the five-door Subaru Impreza, was sold for a few years before being discontinued. The Saab 9-7X SUV (Chevrolet Trailblazer-based) continues to be sold with V8 and V6 engine options.
