All United For Saabs United

saabsunitedA 900 turns into a 9-3

By Gunnar Heinrich | IMG Saabs United

MY good friends “Swade” and “Eggs ‘n Grits” (those are web 2.0 noms de plumes, if you haven’t gathered) have established a new website that obsessively covers the world of Saab.

Formerly “TrollhattanSaab”, the new site is “Saabs United” which sounds like a firm defense against the oncoming unknown.

Frankly, the GM Swedish division is in rough shape. But there are silver linings including a new 9-5 replacement and maybe just maybe a 9-X (Lord, hear our prayer!) so that means that there should be product for Swade and Eggs to opine on.

Trollhattan Saab and now Saabs United are testaments to the best kind of marque-centric blogs.

They do not faun or merely act as automatic regurgetators for the corporate press machines they receive relentless PR statements from. Rather, Saabs United offers insightful, often positive accounts of the good,  and critical thought on the bad, and the ugly of their Svenska corner of the car biz.

That they hold GM to account for Saab’s current state is another reason for reading.

In this vein, Saabs United has every bit the chance to surpass the original Trollhattan Saab success story for standing out among the generalist automotive blogs on the web.

Cheers to them for being the role model for other car sites.

  1. Saabs United? Sounds like a football (soccer) team.

  2. Hi! I like your blog post. I saw many Jeff Paul’s success stories on Internet. Then I decided to join Jeff Paul program. Let’s see if I’ll be able to handle it.

  3. This is a great article. I’m new to blogging but still learning. Thanks for the great resource.
