For Saab fans, December 19, 2011, is a day that lives in infamy. General Motors discarded the Swedish automaker as part of its bankruptcy deal, and without new financial backing, Saab closed its doors. But then NEVS AB acquired Saab's assets and resumed production of the 9-3. Most of these vehicles are electric, but the company produced a limited run of gasoline-powered vehicles, including this one, which just came up for sale.
According to the Bilweb auction site, this 2014 Saab 9-3 Aero Turbo4 is one of 451 cars produced. Related to the discontinued 9-3, the NEVS cars received some updates and slightly differed from the previous GM version. The trim was different, and it had different emblems. The seats came from the Volvo XC 90, and the fuel injection and brake systems were modified, no longer borrowing from the GM parts bin. Buyers could choose between a six-speed manual or automatic transmission and a choice of silver or black paint.
