Spy Shots: Saab 9-3X spotted up close {Autoblog}
Feb 6th 2009 12:09AM Not to belabor the point but you're talking about a month where GM has slashed all prices to absurdly low levels just to get cash.
I'm not saying the Saab is a bad car. Its just not something that excites me at MSRP nor as a former Saab fan. GM wouldn't be trying to get rid of it if they had done a good job maintaining the brand either.

Feb 5th 2009 12:45PM My opinions are opinions for sure. Maybe I'm biased since I have such fond memories of my family's pre-rebadging 900s. But the market seems to agree with me. Its not upscale enough to compete with the luxury brands, nor is it quirky enough to satiate the Saab loyalists, if many exist any more.

Feb 5th 2009 11:41AM Whoops. Don't get the new commenting system.. see my comment down below. By gussied up Chevy I mean the 9-7X which was being laughed at in the service shop. By subaru, I mean the 9-2X which I own only because of its extended warranty and being many thousands less than the equivalent WRX at the time of purchase.

Feb 5th 2009 11:39AM 2009 with 100 miles on it. And I'm not talking about quality of drivetrain or other worn down parts. I'm talking about the uber cheap overhead light plastic, the inane pedal position, the 3 second lag on manual shifts in sport mode, the useless cupholders, and the in speedometer menu system that is about as hazardous as they come.
Even my family's old 1998 900 felt better than this car. I don't know who would possibly cross shop this car with a 3 series, C class or TL. Anyone who has fond memories of the old 900 has had them set afire with GM's incompetence.

Feb 5th 2009 11:17AM And GM wonders why they can't get buyers for Saab? They have to stop deluding themselves in believing that Saab is a premium brand when they're trying to sell gussied up chevys, opals, and subarus. As someone who just drove a 9-3 loaner for the past week, its pretty crummy on the inside as well.

GM adds 12-month/12,000-mile bumper-to-bumper warranty on certified used vehicles {Autoblog}
Aug 19th 2008 10:26PM Too bad on the other hand they destroy used car values by slashing prices on new cars (why buy old when you can buy new for same price?). Does anyone at GM have a coherent plan to keep everyone on the same page? I feel like my GM car is a mcmansion out in the boonies... it keeps losing value by the second (in excess of depreciation).
