by Nick Jaynes
Saab jets advance into the EV market-place with a re-envisioned 9-3. After the Country-wide Electrifying Channel Sweden (NEVS) consortium purchased Saab nearer this year, few sedan toil analysts small amount the exultant would ever see a loyal Saab again in both name and configuration. Those qualms have been for a short allayed as rumors of a Saab 9-3 Convertible EV hit the web. After GM (former possessor of Saab) launched a series of lawsuits defensive NEVS from producing vehicles in China for bogey of leaking mean secrets, it was unclear if NEVS would even be endorsed to use Saab designs, let alone the Saab nameplate. Recently, NEVS was granted full use of Saab’s Sweden-based testing grounds, council inject and tools, crevice the entrance for the re-start of old Saab models. According to Dutch locale Autoweek.nl , the first Saab in the in the works will be a 9-3 EV. Rather than treacherous a new conduit from scratch, NEVS has opted to re-apportion the aging 9-3 dais as an galvanizing carrier with convertible, sedan, and wagon versions in the works. Excitingly, the Saab Phoenix stage has also been pushed into occurrence hardly behind the 9-3. The Phoenix — untypical the more decade-old 9-3, which was based upon the Vectra from German automaker Opal  — is maintain-of-the-art. We induce stateside Saab fans not to get too perturbed by the 9-3 EV information. The reasons are threefold: The old 9-3 policy possibly won’t cause for a expert EV as freestyle packs will like as not rule an already insignificant local range. Too, dedicated NEVS in the air economic regal, the 9-3 will be a lesser film size agency. And, lastly, is not acceptable resolved for the US. If Saabs of old were instinctive from jets, the new NEVS Saabs will be inherent from older, modified jets instance meant by the Germans in the 1990s and unasked for by the Americans in the 2000s.

It will first appear in China before perhaps making its way to other markets. NEVS not only has rights to sales-clerk an EV 9-3 convertible and sedan, but it has also been preordained the go-at the to beget an galvanizing adaptation of the old SportCombi. Only spell will indicate which versions will record it to the sell, but NEVS is patently contemplative of all possibilities. The description continued by saying that there is distress to get the 9-3 into end result even nearer than expected – within a year. This case would lack the 9-3 to be operational with its social gasoline mechanism. According to a spokesman cited in the pole, there is a two-dimensional befall that engines from former Saab P Overall Motors will be against in the new 9-3. But this is still a toil in go.

Chinese firm Youngman to help Spyker build the Saab 9-3 - sort of
24.05.13
Youngman Lotus has completely to pay $12.5 million US dollars (10 million Euros) to Spyker in the Board for a 29.9% ownership in the company. Reports indicate that Youngman paid fair-minded 6.3 cents per share for the 29.9% stake in the enterprise. In addition to buying into the Spyker corporation, Youngman will also supply $31 million US dollars (25 million Euros) into the Spyker manufacturer to help build the new Spyker D8 P2P sport utility channel shown on the right side. This performance oriented SUV is expected to adopt in the footsteps of the Spyker C8 sports car, packing a 500 horsepower machine and an advanced all wheel drive system. The name P2P means Peking To Paris, signifying the assemble racing routes of this unusual looking SUV. Once the Spyker D8 P2P hits manufacture, it will be interesting to see what the company uses for a drivetrain. When this concept was at unveiled in 2006, it packed a W12 Audi engine with 500 horsepower and because of that – the instrument was named the Spyker D12. When plans changed to use a Cadillac V8, the name was untouched to D8 to point out the change in engine size. Now that Spyker is suing Miscellaneous Motors for $3 billion dollars, it would be surprising to see GM physique engines for the company’s new high performance SUV…but there are a great many companies in the in seventh heaven who can build a 500 horsepower V8. The Spyker D8 P2P is expected to reach at the end of 2014 as a 2015 model year vehicle with low output figures and a price north of $250,000. The Saab brand as we have known it may be gone but Chinese set on Youngman Lotus still wants to work with the Spyker kind to achieve some of the goals that they planned to reach through a joint tender in the Saab brand. This begins with the Phoenix architecture that was going to for as the production platform of the new Saab 9-3 but with the bankruptcy of the Saab brand, Spyker has transferred the rights of that dais to the “new” Spyker brand. This means that Spyker and Youngman can in point of fact build the Saab 9-3 as they imagined before the Saab brand went insolvent – sans the Saab name, of course. While it is unclear whether the Phoenix-based Spyker car enlarge with help from Youngman Lotus will be a sedan with a similar focal form to the 9-3 or if it will be a totally unique looking carrier but based on the rest of the Spyker lineup, the new vehicle based on the Saab Phoenix dais should certainly stand out in a crowd. This new venture with Youngman could be much easier from a monetary standpoint should anything come of the $3 billion dollar lawsuit that Spyker has filed against Blended Motors. Spyker is insisting that if GM had not prevented the deal between Spyker and Youngman, the Saab brand would now be benefit $3 billion dollars. Because of that, Spyker is suing GM and the American automaker has until September 28th to answer to the lawsuit. You can read more about the suit by clicking here .

Can anyone help explain a knocking/banging noise coming from my saab 9-3 convertible?
Nov 15, 2006 by chrisbroadbent2002 | Posted in Safety
There is a knocking/banging/cluncking right-minded coming from the middle-back of my Saab 9-3 convertible. It happens when you apply the brakes at low go like a bat out of hell and then accelerate away (such as coming up to a speed bump, in See trade, coming up to a roundabout etc) or when you pump the brakes at low speed. It doesn't come to pass at higher speeds. It sounds likes something rolling/ knocking into something else and falling back again. I have recently had the ass brakes and discs changed, the suspension re-torqued and the emission rubbers changed. It's still there! You can hear it when you are outside the car also. There is no drop in the gig of the car at all. I am convinced that it is coming from inside the body of the car, underneath the end seat. I can assure you all that it has nothing to do with someone such as my mother in law being trapped in my boot!! Would worth any ideas, as this is getting annoying.
Most odds-on a loose muffler or a broken hanger on your exhaust. Or the tailpipe is hitting the axle because you have a bad numb or strut

'99 Saab 9-3 convertible top will not go all the way back up?
Jan 30, 2008 by Rlbrnch | Posted in Saab
My Saab 9-3 convertible top will not root go up. Everything works except the rear window will not go back down, completing the last step. I refilled the hydraulic mobile already. When this happens my truck is also unable to be opened electronically, not steady why. Every other part of the convertible goes back and forth.
I just turned the headlights on and the convertible works fairly now. Why??
The headlight element is a coincidence.On the top,there are 5 bows that go across the frame.first one at the windshield and the fifth one at the bottom of the back window.On the drivers side behind the mercifulness glass is the 5th bow microswitch.It is an open/close switch that the system uses to regulate where in the cycle the 5th bow is.This switch is a common problem.There are a few switches for several things on the top,but the 5th bow switch is the most common problem.
another problem is the tonneau force.Its in the trunk on the right side under the top stowage bag.There is a universal joint there that goes bad too.
Could be either one.chattels luck

What year did the Saab 9-3 convertible start having auxiliary audio inputs?
May 24, 951 by dawhitfield | Posted in Saab
I don't literally know that they ever started, but I have a rental car at the moment and it has one, so I figure the 9-3s to all intents do. I currently have a 2000 9-3 convertible. I'm thinking maybe in a year and a partially or so (especially if I do not go to the Wold Cup) I might be ready for an upgrade. Time to start extenuating for it but I need to know what year to save for!
please give a citation. You won't get win out over answer without a citation.
I have a 2006 9-3 Aero convertible - it has the mill aux input in the center console -- standard paraphernalia. I've used it and it works like a champ.
Not sure if it was paradigm in earlier years, but as of 2006 it was. So -- there's a starting tip for you.
Hope that helps !!!
