Wasn’t it just a few days ago that General Motors was in negotiations with yet another company to take over the Saab brand? This morning GM announced that it’s not going to happen, and Saab, just like Saturn and Pontiac, will begin the process of shutting down. GM says warranties will be honored, and parts and service will continue to be provided to Saab owners around the world.

  2. When GM decided to shut down the Saab Brand GM assure that parts and service will continue to be provided. But now it is getting difficult to get the parts & service of this car.

    Have GM shutdown providing parts & service? If not please lets know where should we get it. specifies the dealer, website, etc.

  3. Current Saab dealerships should be providing the same service they always have. If yours is a dealership which maybe will be discontinuing selling the brand, that may be why parts and service don’t seem up to snuff. The new Saab ownership has its own website: saabusa.com. Go there where you’ll find a spot to sign in as an owner, and perhaps find the help you need.

  6. Saab is always looked as a classic and vintage vehicle. It has kept its glory and according to me the designs of Saab gave an astonishing looks of a complete vintage vehicle.

    The move taken by GM will definitely benefit the old owners of this vehicle.
