Yes. They sold Opel because of to low profit. Whilst also selling rebadged opels as Chevrolets with slightly Different design for cheaper. And totally not understanding european markets. So the consequence: sell opel and pull chevy (except cprvette) out of europe/at least germany. If you are thinking "wait, but then they can't sell cars to germans anymore, except those five Cadillacs a year" then you're.... absolutely right. Oops. GM also insisted on Opel selling a few rebadged cars that all sucked and after probelms occured (ex. Sintra crashtest...), only then opel was allowed to develope their own car... At least the frontera was kinda good. But sintra, Antara and some others sucked. Oh, and they basically killed Vauxhall in the 80s/90s and made them sell only Opels with Different badges and no personality anymore.

Love your enthusiasm dude.. Saab was a really good company. Before GM. Since i have worked for Saab for many years i can give you a cool story. When saab made the 9-3 sportswagon they got very strict instructions from GM on what they could spend money on. For example they should use the opel vectra satnav system. When the car was ready and some bigshots from GM where in Sweden to check it out, they discovered that in the car was a completely other satnav system alltogether. A much, much better system, designed and built by Saab. Of course they asked what the hell was going on, and the answer they got from the Saab technitions where simple: the system from the opel sucked. So they built a good one..

According to Jeremy Clarkson (while he was still hosting for Top Gear) the reason why GM actually sent somebody out to Sweden was that the project was getting too expensive and the "suites in Detroit" wanted to know why. Unless I'm mistaken, I believe Saab spent over $2 million dollars on that system. I can imagine that it is probably the biggest fuck you General Motors ever received.

It didn't help that Saab was sucking GM dry financially. They were given vehicles and told to change the badging and body and instead Saab spent millions reengineering the vehicles. However, they did make them somewhat better. I'll take a 9-7x Aero over a Trailblazer SS any day. My 06 9-7x Arc had some quirky problems but it sounded, handled, and performed better than it's GM counterparts - Chevy Trailblazer, Buick Rainier, Oldsmobile Bravada, GMC Envoy, AND Isuzu Axiom.

@RavenousElf the transfer case control motor was a joke. Mine broke and it locked the front output. I had to replace the seal and CV half-shaft due to pitting from crow-hopping during slow speed turns. They should have just used the Torsion limited slip xfer case out of the Aero/SS on all models. It also wreaked havoc in the snow. Doing 35mph, front output engaged. Everything fine. Person in front of me hits the brakes, I slow down, front output disengaged, rear wheels lose traction and speed up, front output engages, car jerks around in the snow and slides out of my lane. Over and over and over. Ended up on the side of the road slowly getting closer the cliff edge as I tried turning around. Never drove it in snow again.

Forgot about the Saab 9000 though... Those were legit kings of the road back in the days.

GM were absolutely clueless of what a Saab was only ever launched three new models over a period of nineteen years. I mean seriously, Saab was about sporty cars with a rally heritage and cool engineering. The absolutely first thing GM should've done when buying into Saab was to develop 4WD models and a new sports car. Instead, they gave those funds to Opel.

While stationed in Germany, I bought a 1983 SAAB 900 Turbo 4-door with Amaranth color. Put 198,000 on the car over 17 years and it still looked new when I gave it away. My late wife cried when I gave it away. Drove the car all over Europe and the U.S. Great Winter car. Would plow through the snow, never needed snow tires, heated seats and was good handling. Put the rear seats down and could load the heck out of it. Great gas mileage!

I still have dreams about driving my old 900S. There was nothing fast about it, but there was something about taking it on winding roads through the woods at night that excited me in a way that no other car has since. In 2015 I pulled out on a country road and got T-boned at 50 mph by a Ford Explorer with tow hooks on the front. The airbags didn't deploy and the driver door was caved in, but I walked away without a scratch. Saabs are some of the best cars ever made.

Maaaaaan, you dropped the ball big time by not mentioning the only other 100% Swedish built Saab.. The 9000! This was a car that in 1993 when they came out with the Aero (sport) Edition, the Aero was capable of accelerating from 80 to 121 km/h (50 to 75 mph) faster than a Porsche Carrera 4 or a Ferrari Testarossa Not only that, but the car would get 32 mg on the highway from it's 2.3L Turbocharged engine and regularly push the speedometer past it's 155 mph printed number then past the last notch that would be 160 and pin the needle to the odometer reset button which was when judging by eye, would be another 10 mph at the least. All in stock form! I witnessed one with 170k miles on it do that speed with all five seats occupied, 4 windows down and sunroof open! Truly an amazing car and by fat the best Saab ever produced. I can vividly remember my dentist complaining when he traded in his 9000 with 200k miles on it for a brand new ( General Motors designed and built) Saab 9-3. He honestly went back to the dealership after owning th 9-3 for 2 days and demanded his old 9000 back only to have them say that the car was sent to auction. They set him up with a 9-5 Aero to try to give him a car that would compare to his 9000 and he was still disappointed. Oh, and when you gawk about the Viggen… it used the same engine as the 9000 Aero but stuck it in a GM built, flexible wantabe "sports car" chassis. The 9000 was designed so the center of the weight distribution was located at the drivers hips... essentially, as you cornered, you felt as if you were part of the car. I still own three of the,.. a first model year 93' 5 speed, a 94' 5 speed and a last model year 97' automatic. I'll never sell them... that is until 20-30 years from now when they are worth three times their $44,000 sticker price when they rolled off the showroom floor. Anyone who has ever owned one will back me up. The only other Saab that holds a stick to the 9000 Aero that Saab produced is a 900 SPG. I own 2 of those also!

Seriously...... he forgot the best platform Saab made. The 9000 aero was faster than the M3 when it came out. Also the last real Saab ever made.

Methinks the 9000 might get it's own episode? Seems too obvious to leave out. Also, early 2000s 9-5s were definitely real saabs.

Up To Speed: Volvo Up To Speed: Koenigsegg Up To Speed: Mercedes Up To Speed: Ferrari Up To Speed: BMW Up To Speed: Audi But I do have one question, you said in this video, that SAAB is the second best swedish car brand, which is the best? Volvo or Koenigsegg, make a Up To Speed video about that brand!

As a SAAB fan this was emotional, Thanks guys i guess all good things must come to an end

Great video! We grew up with SAABs. from the 60's thru 2006. We had 'em all (except the sonnet). I would love a 5 spd 9-5 wagon, but whatcha gonna do when it breaks!!! Sad. Love SAAB!

I've got a saab '93 900, she's my first car and I love her more that ANYTHING. she's so sturdy, so fast, and doesn't have frequent breakdowns like my parents' cars do. Me and my close friend are streetracers, and I won my first race with her :) love her to pieces, love saab to pieces, and I'll be driving this car until I run it into the ground

I'd like to see an episode about the US president's armored limos.

Wow, great "show"! I'm a picky guy when it comes to KZread videos about cars, however as we love SAABs in the family, we got to love your video. (Living in Sweden, you can pick them up for pennies) We have two 9-5's, hence the interest in your video. Keep up the good work.

I love my Saabaru, they shoved the steering racks from the STI's in them and it's the best face option for all WRX type vehicles.

I miss my Saabaru, man

Something VERY SPECIAL for Saab was one of there Engines. Have you ever heared about the Saab SVC Engine? what the Japanese are doing and planing now, saab was making it at 2001. the first steps to a self Ignition Benzin Engine....Ok it was a Engine with variable Compression. A ratio from 14:1 to 8:1 by angling the Cylinder Head up to 4 degrees. 5 Cylinders 1,6l and over 300 Nm with 225 HP with the same fuel consuption as a normal 1,6l engine. and that in 2001. GM those Money Cunts striked the project down, cause of too much money (what a surprise). saab had it, the engine was working, they used it in a 9-5 wagon. Imagine Saab would still exist or the engine was build in as a special Edition for 9-5 and 9-3. I love Saab so much for that! I and we all should hate GM for that. The main inventor of the planned obsolescence, the shame as a car company, ruiner of so much beautiful in the car world (beside ecologicals) GM SHOULD GO TO HELL FOREVER!!! (and tell the devil that for sure more Companies follow)

Love the look of 99 and 900 combi 3/5 door models sloping tail. There was also stranger called 90, it had the front end of 99 and rear end of 900 2-door sedan, all of those were made in here Finland.

pls just do the Toyota Celica

had a 1998 9-3 2.0t amazing condition and all that, but there where few issues, first off the seating position is super bad, the shifter is almost at the floor you would have to reach for it, steering wheel had minimal adjustment. tl;dr not meant for big boys.

The car sucked

I worked for a SAAB dealer when it was relaunched here in New Zealand. They (the 900i, 9000CS/CD/AERO) were so understatedly brilliant. Had one customer purchase an 9000 AERO, happy with the performance and power but wanted more. So with factory and Abott Racing (England) enhancements his AERO was insane to drive, by that I mean it wanted to be driven hard. I'll never forget that 9000. What model also not mentioned was the 900S/SE (with the V6 (a bit nose heavy with a great engine sound)). Then came the 9-3, 9-3 AERO, 9-3 Viggen. Replacing the 9000's was the 9-5, 9-5 V6, 9-5 AERO. I know there's lots more to the later models (9-3, 9-5), like using GM (Opel) platforms, just strengthened to SAABs quality. But let's not forget the 9000 platform was shared Fiat (Chroma), Lancia (Thema), Alfa Romeo (164), and some others I can't think of right now. Shame such a brand should become just another GM generic.

I love my 2007 Saab 93 Aero convertible. It's my 3rd saab. They've all been great.

Love this video, but if you're gotta talk about it you gotta recognize the Saab 900 turbo SPG, Saab 9000 aero, Saab 9-3 turboX, and GM sold it to spyker not NEVS.

holy crap a goldberrgs reference its my favorite tv show that none of my friends watch

I'm 22 and I drive a saab 9-3 1.9 tid estate and I have to say it has to be the best car I have owned absolutely love everything about it drives amazing and pulls like a train.

I had a 900S 1984 and loved it :-)
