Saab 9-3 Back in Production

After years of rumors and speculations of the will they/won't they variety, a brand-new Saab 9-3 has – finally! – managed to roll down the assembly line! Don't be fooled by the fact that this new Saab looks just like the 2009 models the company was building when it was spun off from GM's bankruptcy, however. This car features all-new components designed by Saab engineers and manufactured in Trollhättan, Sweden. Saab, now owned by the National Electric Vehicle Sweden company, promised its new cars would reach production in 18 months. That was in September of 2012, so they're about 6 month ahead of schedule. That on-track message puts NEVS-owned Saab in a decidedly different league than faux car-makers like Detroit Electric and Elio Motors, who've spent more time justifying delays than they have building cars. Don't take my word for that, though, check out the well-appointed assembly line and experienced Saab assembly workers in the photo gallery, below, and start getting excited. Saab's back, baby! All we need now is a new Saab 900 revival and we'll really be in business!   Sources | Photos: Saabs United, via WorldCarFans; Originally posted to Gas 2. from The Truth About Cars http://www.thetruthaboutcars.com
