The first time I sat behind that beautiful dashboard and fired up that 2.3 turbo engine , no cracking or popping from the exhaust , just very quiet I named her butterfly , that was 10 years ago and still have her now
So much joy & sadness in this video- A healthy Saab production line making wonderful cars we all love, then the realization that it no longer exists...
i traveled from NORWAY to former SAAB factory in TROLHATTAN, a month ago (outside the city of GOTHENBORG) trees were growing from the concrete, everything was calm or standing still, there is no sign of recent activity. but SAAB will be back, mark my word.
Guess how many of those 9-5 still do exist today? Not many I assume, but when I look out of my window at home, I definitely see that in December 2023 my 2002 Aero SC is still running ... 💪🏻
Anyone notice builders how they do their job with love and not because its their job! One of new aero 2.3 9-5 250hp with 0km for me now could realise my dream of my life!
Most car factories nowadays are like that. I was at the Nissan powertrain factory in Tennessee and it was dead quiet, except in the department where they forged the crankshafts.
I love to drive my SAAB 9-5 Estate from 1998 that was first registrated in 1999. GM ruined SAAB when stopping SAAB from having a 4x4 version of the SAAB 9000 from the start, and then later also when SAAB wanted a 4x4 SAAB 9-5 from the beginning. A huge mistake to touch GM. I think SAAB would still produce cars today if not for General Motors. There were other car brands SAAB could have cooperated with back in time like Koenigsegg and McLaren. SAAB has to resources to make a comeback as a car producer. SAAB can create an all new model together with McLaren or Koenigsegg, and that could be a solid and big 4X4 crossover that could be a military version too with SAAB`s tradition for making not only fighter planes, but also other military stuff. I love to buy a special 4x4 SAAB crossover estate as possibly a multifuel version. Elon Musk and Tesla have now made their first hydrogen car to be launched in 2024. Hydrogen is the future, and not electrical cars.
I had a one-on-one tour of the factory in the late '90s. The tooling for the 9000s was piled up in the corner waiting to be hauled off to the salvage yard. Having owned two 9000s, that was a sad moment for me.
@@kolic4520 At some point all of them have been there. Well at least if you live in Europe because most Saabs for europe were produced in trollhättan.
As I watch this video at midnight, I feel like getting into one of my 4 Saab 9-5 manual wagons and going out for Ice Cream. But wait, nothing's open at this hour, Crap. BTW, Is that ABBA playing over the factory sound system?
Gabriel Gomez I know what he's talking about. But no is the 2nd face lift. If you look closely. You can tell is the new styled headlights. Plus the front bumper is the 2nd face lift
It's a 2nd face lift, if you look at the bumper it goes all the way up to the tail light, the first one had an extra plastic piece between the bumper and lights.
A car built by white folks is the best. They look professional and decent. Their jeans aren't sagging down, they're not tatooted. They work with pride and honour

Luke Mallory she’s fine new paint and rims and when I’m driving her I’m soooo happy 😊
LA Detailing smiles all round she is my true friend
You are a lucky man! 😉 take care of her!
Thank you for for assembling my 9-5 with such quality standards. It's almost 20yr old and 330.000 km without rust or issues. Tack! 👍🇸🇪
@Lasse Riise same here
these cars are hidden gems

I agree for sure ❤💔 I have two Saab 9-5’s one I bought and fixed and they both been great ever since.
Молодец, я ищу СААБ 95 вагон цвет лагуны. Благодарю за поддержку. Анджей из Санкт-Петербурга. Актуально до конца 2024 года.
I miss so much SAAB. Thanks for posting.

but SAAB will be back, mark my word.
is this heaven?
No this is hell!! The terminator is being built ..made to destroy your pockets.. youve all been warned !! I come from the future..
Yes

The place where dreams are made
Yes !!
This is just amazing to watch, this car is so awesome but not appreciated enough
So sad they are no more. I loved my Saab Sport Combi.
So what happened, you loved ir? Buy another one

Watching the most beautiful cars ever being made.
SAAB come back!
Fan from Poland.
Saab is better than mercedes
Damn you GM to hell! What a great car the 9-5 was!
I wish they were back at it again ....😩
Love these Saab factory, assembly line videos !!
I wish i have had the chance to buy one when they were still in production.
Bra SAAB 👍

Great idea!👌
What I would've give for them to ramp up Saab factories again.
Did the robots find new jobs or did they end up as strippers?
They're probably bartenders in Japan or something
They are now starring on the show "My 600-lb Life", lifting fat people from one location to another.

I saw one at the checkout
Самый любимый автомобиль 🚘 мой, это сааб!
I would love to work there, but GM decided to crush my dreams :/
@1:57 Every Saab person needs that lift to remove the dash to get to the broken blend door arm lol
But GM have care which You need to remove front bumper to have access to replace headlight bulb !
That is "smart" ?
Mines an 03 9-5 aero. This is wicked
I bet my black wagon was some where in that line
My 03 9-5 Aero in Merlot Red also
Maybe even my 03 9-5 Aero in Espresso black metallic was there
@@kolic4520 i bealive my 9-5 sport vector 03 was there as well :P still has not broken down. stage 2 and straight piped sounds nice.
@@kolic4520 At some point all of them have been there. Well at least if you live in Europe because most Saabs for europe were produced in trollhättan.
Heck maybe even my 328i BMW lolz
I'm joking lol I love Saab

So sad this amazing brand is no more 😢
2:11 that is the 3,0Tid engine, its a V6 turbo engine
It was Isuzu junk that it shared with the Vectra C, that engine was horrendous for dropping piston liners essentially writing the car off.
hey at 3:58 i saw a first gen 95 being made. look at the taillights
Well it'd be strange if you saw a second gen being made since those cam 7 years later.
Gabriel Gomez I know what he's talking about. But no is the 2nd face lift. If you look closely. You can tell is the new styled headlights. Plus the front bumper is the 2nd face lift
Definitely a pre-facelift at 3:58. I can see several others through out the video.
They all are great 2nd generation is a pretty face lift tho
It's a 2nd face lift, if you look at the bumper it goes all the way up to the tail light, the first one had an extra plastic piece between the bumper and lights.
❤❤❤❤ we love crazy Swedish
Check out that mint Aero dashboard
Всё тихо без суеты.
Holy shit. The Swedes are the world’s greatest engineers.
And now their genius will enrich NATO.
Huzzah!
Jæd første me, Blue
🏁🏁🏁🎬👍
....... That looks like a 9-3 to me😐 so all this time I've been driving a 9-5 and not a 9-3?😵
Just look on your trunk
@@Emptiness_Machine_2001 I was being sarcastic 😊 the title of the vid is SAAB 9-5 production 2003, I drive a 2005 Saab 9-3 arc
And then she told us about her birthday party

News that matter Lololol. It's called a dress code. Ford utilizes jump suits. Ethnicity is irrelevant.
Wasted some great cars sticking that horrendously unreliable Isuzu junk V6 diesel in it.
Muitos comerciais ! Que merda !!!
THE CHINESE HAVE REMOVED ALL THE VALUEABLE ITEMS.
Saab is death 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
Nice legendary car it was!
Brings a tear to the eye, really does :(🥲
