Sweden's FORGOTTEN Unicorn | Rafi's Saab 9-3 Turbo X 

That body will never go out of style.

I bought one new in 2008 with six speed manual and it still looks and drives as new and is as comfortable. It's been essentially trouble free. Needed a new clutch last year and the usual maintenance though recently the steering wheel lock module went bad and I had to have the car flat bedded because the steering wheel was locked. I have a great Saab mechanic in Brooklyn and so far have been able to get all needed parts. Nothing has gone wrong in the big picture! My first Saab was a 1972 96 costing $2737 new. I've driven nothing but Saabs ever since. I kept that one until 2000 (of course had newer Saabs along the way). I visited the factory as Saab rolled out the new 9-5 and got to ride in an electric car they were developing. I even got to see the paint department where even dealers weren't taken---I have some friends--- it's been a fantastic 50+ year ride! Sad Saab is gone..... really nice video. Thanks. But that honeycomb grille and some other things aren't stock!

Really cool to see people keeping this brand alive! Saab is dead for many but not for us!

Beautiful Turbo X. How I miss my beloved 93 Aero XWD that I sold a year ago.

This is just perfection. The video is also very good.

Robusnost, elegancija, totalno drukčiji od drugih. Bezvremenski auto, kao da je danas proizveden. Da mi nude bilo koji novi automobil bilo koje marke ili ovakav Saab, izabrao bih Saab. Pozdrav svim ljubiteljima Saaba od jednog volvista iz Hrvatske! 🇭🇷🇸🇪

We had very few turbo Xs over here in Australia but I do drive a black 93 Aero turbo4.

Fun fact: The chief engineer and project leader for this car went on to create the SEA EV platform enabling cars like the Zeekr 001 and Polestar 4.

SAAB come back! SAAB fan from Poland.

The car, the video, the music. 😍 Bravo! 👏

Wealthy people can drive whatever they want, smart people drive SAABs. Beautiful car brother. I run a 2004 Aero, stage 3 tune, stainless exhaust. Like a bat out of trollhatten.

❤ I LOVE my TX. Just got it back after a year and I missed it so much.

Definitely would love one of these as a daily driver. I drive a '96 9000 Aero R vin right now! Fantastic car

simpely perfection,i own 9-3 aero 2006, 2.8t wagon, love SAAB

Love those wheels, beautiful overall. Not a lot of people know about this. Nice!

Absolutely fantastic video. Upstate New York at its finest in the fall, and the music is perfect. Well done!

Hell yeah, I've been waiting for the day an edit like this of a TX pops up. I have a TX SportCombi that's having the front end rebuilt, so some fresh TX content was awesome to see in the meantime. Love the Hirsch bits in this particular car... The car is obviously very well taken care of!

Amazing. I own a 2008 Aero XWD 6 speed. Incredible cars.

Езжу на Saab 9-3 c 2006 года. Проехал на нем, как до Луны - 360.000км. Хорошо, что NEVS вместе со шведскими коллегами продолжает дело SAAB и скоро выпустит электромобиль.

Speachless. Awesome cinematography and editing! Still drooling after a pre-facelift 9-3 Aero.

Oh wow!!! Ultimate dream car ❤

Beautiful video for a beautiful car! I love driving my Turbo X manual sedan version with ultra low miles and my brother enjoys his automatic SportCombi version. The engine is so smooth while the exhaust has a truly unique sound.

Saabs are so freaking classy

sehr schöner SAAB.

Another owner of a TX SportSedan 6MT here! Super awesome to see these shots. That griffin front end swap along with all the Hirsch parts truly conveys the depth of the owner's knowledge and taste of tuning Saabs lol. Great video, glad to see a Saab covered! Does the owner happen to have an instagram?

2023? Saab still alive ?!

Beautiful car🙏

beautiful shooting and what an awesome car!

Soy actualmeteb dueño de mi segundo SAAB 93 TID DEL 2010 SEPTIEMBRE el anterior duró 7 años me di un golpe y me compre otro y si SAAB volviera a la vida ... seria cliente ,pues me volveria comprar otro ...UNA PENA QUE QUE NO VUELVA AL MERCADO ESTA ESTUPENDA MARCA suerte a todos los SAABISTAS

Such a beauty....

Nicely done. Is this upstate NY?

Zeitlos schön ♥♥♥

Legend !

Beautiful video sir. First of all Id like to say that Saab was my very first car. I remember my first day when I purchased it and since then I never stopped loving the car. I love the fact that there are so few left on the streets. I feel so special driving it . When I meet some other saab driver and we wave to each other,it always makes me smile and I have happy mood. The car never failed me. I maptuned the vehicle as well so for saab,it goes very fast. I dont want to do it............. Unfortunately, adult life and growing up -> I had to focus on different things then running around the car and taking care of it and 2 weeks ago the engine broke down on the road. It is right now under service but I still dont know the cost of repair. It can be total K.O. of engine aka huge investment. I failed the car and hate myself for it but I have decision to make anyway. Do I keep or sell? I know I can save money for example for Audi A7 which I like as well. Its modern,easier to drive,basically everything is better but Its not Saab. I know I wont feel that special anymore and we wont have that bond together. In case I keep it, I decided to do complete revision of everything so I give to the car what it needs and buy everything new which means that maybe I wont spend the same amount as like I would buy Audi A7 but It wont be cheap as well. Basically I want to go all in in both cases but I have to choose which one I want. Buying new or completely renovate the old? Is it still worth it to invest into Saab? I love it to death but if it will be damaged every 2 years its a bad investment. I dont know....Any opinion will help I guess..Do you miss your Saab if you sold already?

top car, wonderfull video!!

Невероятная машина! ❤

I still miss my old 9-3 ❤

Wowza!!!

simply nice

Шикарный самолёт)

Plenty of these have become available in the UK, sadly, because of the emissions output, the government has put them in the highest road tax band. That’s why people are getting rid of them as a daily driver.

I miss my Saab. Was hoping NEVS would revive the brand and bring it into the modern electric age, but sadly they´ve gone now too.

Take my money 😂

That Hircsh interior is so clean

Sweet edit Bröther

The most beutyfull cars ever made ❤ shout out to all saab lovers❤❤❤❤ keep driving those cars they are worth it

Love the griffin fogs

My brother owns one of these. It is his pride and joy.

Beautiful. Was there a wagon Turbo X?

Not a speed camera in sight the place for the saab turbo x. 💪

Very nice Saab 👌👍

SAAB is not forgettable.

Hey man, great video. I'm currently working on a video talking about Saab and would love to use this. I'll be sure to credit you!

This reminds me of NFS hot pursuit 2...

Can't find better body. So gonna have to tune up my cabriolet.

Didn't expect NY plates

Were are you located? Id love to get a ball park on what you charge for a small cinematic? Ive got a 15 Mustang that id like to get on video.

Nice

就是帥

TurboX is very rare but why did you change the front bumper from Griffin or latest NEVS version?

Was so close to buy this car in 2015. Due to high insurance rates ended up getting Subaru wrx

Great video, Saab owner😊, what is the name of the track btw?

Hej! Forgotten? Never.

Sporty and classy…

How fast is Your car after the mods? have You ever timed it? pozdro z polski ;)

currently trying to buy an auto turbo x for 2 grand! but the person on craigslist isn’t responding. Think it would make a great daily so I can mod my bmw e90 and make that a fun car.

They are not saabs and have not been since the 90s. They are gm vauxhalls , last saab was a 9000

👍😁👏🇸🇪

Is the Turbo X expected to go up in value?

Hi brother I have one for sale v6 manual very good condition, 130.000km. The car is stock

Type of wheels pls?

Как можно было допустить ,что не стало СААБа??????

Sigh, wish they could have kept this up.

I'll never sell my 2008 9-3 OEM diehard here

Be carefull on slippery ground! Gourges nature and street - please stopp engine during refueling next time - thanks!

sadly this car brand ended...

Poor engine with that low RON fuel..

Fuel pump has 93 sticker ...... so subtle Wes Anderson.

Wanna talk about unicorn i gotta 95 aero wagon LOL
