    Who's Interested In Saab?

    With Saab heading into bankruptcy, companies are coming in to snap up pieces of the brand.

    Hans Bergqvist, the administrator in charge of liquidating Saab told Swedish publication NyTeknik that many companies are interested in Saab's assets.

    Berggvist did confirmed that one of the companies interested is Youngman Automotive. This should come as no surprise as the company tried to save Saab until the last minute and has invested tens of millions of euros to help pay for wages and taxes. A spokesman for the company said that it was primarily interested in the Phoenix platform that would have underpinned the next-generation 9-3 and possibly other technologies that didn't involve GM.

    But there is another party that is also interested in Saab's assets, the Turkish government.

    Turkey has numerous auto factories on its territory; Fiat, Renault, Toyota, Ford, and Hyundai all build cars there. But Turkey doesn't have their own brand. Buying up some of Saab's assets could help the country begin building their own car.

    According to the report, the Turkish Embassy was in contact the ministry talking about Saab.

      900 miles of range is so unnecessary. There is so much wasted weight going on there for that kind of range.

      Have to say that the VW/Xpeng EV lineup is pretty sweet. The jetta EV is a solid brick on wheels SUV look that I like, the others are very nice, but I am not a fan of the Coupe rear approach to EVs.

      Discussion:Ultium Twins to hit the market soon from Honda / Acura

      By G. David Felt · Posted

      We are in the greatest Auto change in history; change is happening faster than ever compared to how ICE evolved in the early 1900's. Nissan just announced that their global EVs will have a 600 mile range solid state battery pack that is produced in their battery plant that opened in January 2025 and is in testing now. Expect next year as 2028 model year EVs to see these auto's hit the road. https://www.nissan-global.com/EN/INNOVATION/TECHNOLOGY/ARCHIVE/ASSB/ Nissan's first EV powered by solid-state batteries on track for 2028

      I don't know how it took so long for me to learn this, but I just learned the 2025 Prologues (and Blazers) received a new front motor with more power and, I'm assuming, it's more efficient. The AWD Touring models gained 13 miles of range along with 12hp and 22 lb-ft to make it 300hp and 355 lb-ft of torque up from 288hp/333lb-ft.
