market and the bankruptcy in the USA of former parent company GM,

There are a range of four and six cylinder engines from 1.6 to 2.8 litre, offering a range of three fuel types – petrol, diesel and bioethanol.
To give the all important Saab cockpit look, the designers have disguised windshield and side pillars and Saab say the the windscreen and roof are reminiscent of the classic 900 model.
