Every time I go to start Saab's 9-3 SportCombi, I wind up putting the key in the wrong place. I sit there for a few confused, fumbling moments wondering where the hell I am. And then I notice the brilliant yet simple instrumentation and the unique retractable cupholder. Seated within the stylish "Sw

Regular readers will know our Saab 9-2X has been residing somewhere on the fringe of our long-term fleet. Engineering editor Jay Chen was given the go-ahead to wrench on the Saab wagon and see what sorts of slumbering performance he could awaken. Given the fact that it shares its drivetrain and basi

Saab's strategy for survival is little different from the natural world's need for varied gene pools. Diversity guards against annihilation, and dipping into General Motors worldwide family for its future generations of vehicles means Saab should continue to exist-at least for the foreseeable future

Some goodbyes are easy. You shake hands, exchange a few hollow pleasantries and then split. Clean, emotionless, easy. Saying goodbye to our Saab 9-3 Vector is not like that. This parting is more a tear-soaked, clinging, ripped-from-your-arms type affair usually seen when loved ones go to war or off

It was during one of those mid-morning editorial meetings that usually lose their focus around lunchtime. The procedure is to continue the rap over eats at one of usual bistros. It was Editor Brown's choice this time, so Exec. Ed. Collins and I waited outside

This Saab 9-3 Vector is a surprising mix. I get used to the turbo torque, and appreciate it. I manage to pretty much not think about the rest of the car, until a friend I'm taking somewhere, or a total stranger at a gas station, tells me how good looking they

The staff remembers with great fondness the Saab 9-5 wagon long-termer that graced our garage in 2001. It was trouble-free, practical, comfortable and powerful, great for long-distance cruising, parts hauling and plain just having fun with.

The numbers from the first three months are in, and despite much gnashing of teeth and rending of garments among the faithful, it appears Saab made the right choice when it dropped the hatch and entered the ultra-competitive premium compact sedan market. Sales

Stockholm, SwedenWhile it doesn't carry the recognizably quirky Saab characteristics that have helped distinguish the brand for over 50 years, Saab's all new 9-3 sedan should appeal to a far wider audience than ever before, in many wonderful ways. The new seda

The Volvo S60 has a sexy body and a wonderful heart, which is enough for me to overlook its inability to dance. Volvos haven't been boxy for several years now, and I like their curves. Chris Bangle (BMW's design chief) called Volvo's tail-end treatment an 'ext

Notes from a vacation: When we inducted the 9-5 Aero Wagon into our long-term fleet, we expected that its utility would be a primary draw. And so it was when I signed it out for the family's trek to Lake Tahoe.

It is normally my habit, when cars display hardly a drop of sporting blood in their veins, to hate them passionately. Much to my surprise is it then that I rather like this Saab. I suspect the engineer in me is calling this shot, and he can't help but respect,

Blind dates can be scary, especially when a friend orchestrates the meeting. So, when Editor Brown suggested I drive a new Saab 9-5 Aero wagon across the country, from the southern tip of Florida to our offices in SoCal, the warning bells went off. I'd never s
