Used Car of the Day: 2008 Saab 9-5 Aero Sportcombi

The year 2008 doesn't seem that long ago, although it is. It similarly seems like just yesterday that Saabs were still sold.

But, alas, Saab isn't really a thing anymore, at least not as a car company. So if you've got a thing for Swedish wagons, you'll need to find something like this used 2008 Saab 9-5 Sportcombi.

  • Namesakeone It should be a name that evoques the wild west, that emphasizes the go-anywhere nature of how an SUV should be used. Something like a wild animal, maybe something like a horse. I've got it! How about . . . Mustang! Oh, wait. They already did that, didn't they?

  • Jeff Carlos Travares wants to cut costs by 1/3. I don't see Chrysler or Dodge surviving too much longer especially since they are being literally starved for product. The success of the new Charger could extend Dodge a few more years but a failure might be a quick end to Dodge. I could see Stellantis moving more manufacturing for Jeep and Ram to Mexico which I believe will eventually be the only surviving brands of the old Chrysler. As for the Durango if it continues it will not be for too many more years it is an outdated product that I doubt will be redesigned especially when Jeep has a comparable product. Stellantis needs to address the high dealer inventory level by giving better incentives and low interest rates to clear excessive inventory.
