Most SAAB owners are a loyal bunch. But on the rare occasion that they find themselves needing a second vehicle, a recent announcement from Volvo might cause them to consider adding a Volvo to the family fleet.
Effective Friday, December 4, 2009, Volvo is extending the same Owner Loyalty discount to current SAAB owners as it does for Volvo owners. What this means is that any SAAB owner who acquires a new Volvo S80, XC70, or XC90 will receive an additional $1000-1500 off their lease or purchase.
Add to that the current discounts for Costco members, eScrip supporters, and members of Ford’s A, Z, or X plans and you could save up to $7500 off a new Volvo! That’s definitely worth taking a second look!
Off the subject: from an article in Autoworld(?)
Volvo S60 2009
5 cylinder turbo
500 hp at 26 pounds boost
3,350 pounds with driver
167 miles per hour in the back stretch at Road Atlanta
Does SAAB have a competing model?
I found that Volvo mentioned in Autoweek online at http://www.autoweek.com/article/20091103/SEMA/911039994. SAAB has had several hopped up cars in the past. In particular, I saw a 700 hp SAAB 900 drag racing on youtube.
