Last week, we reported about Saab fans determined to make automotive history. The aim? To come together and purchase the very last Saab 9-3 Griffin, which hasn’t been completed yet.

Saab devotees are a loyal bunch. The crew at Saabs United has kept tabs on every development surrounding the future of the Saab brand.
