Car Forum / Saab Cars / February 20059-5 Manufactured
Are the 9-5's sold in the US made in the US or Sweden?... Is the 9-5 built on a GM platform like some of the other some models? this is the pile of junk it was based on http://www.parkers.co.uk/choosing/carreviews/review.aspx?model_id=976 , but Saab cut up the chassis and re-engineered it. not sure whether they are made in America. > Are the 9-5's sold in the US made in the US or Sweden?...

Saab cars, with minor and not relevant exceptions are made in Sweden. The platform is derived from a GM platform and heavily modified by Saab for the 9-5. > Saab cars, with minor and not relevant exceptions are made in Sweden. > The platform is derived from a GM platform and heavily modified by > Saab for the 9-5.

As was the last car of the 96 V4 model, you'll find a picture of it on http://www.saabmuseum.com/96v4/index.html The factory in Nystad (Uusikaupunki) also manufactured a few 95 (not 9-5!) and the 99 model. The 99 was also manufactured in Belgium for some time.

As was the 96. Some 93 (not 9-3) were assembled in Paraguay. The 9-3 convertible is manufactured by Magna Steyr in Austria (from 2003). -- MH '72 97 '77 96 '78 95 '79 96 '87 900T8 http://go.to/saab96 >> >>Saab cars, with minor and not relevant exceptions are made in Sweden. > [quoted text clipped - 3 lines] > > As was the 96.

Got one to suggest for me? Language doesn't matter much. Dave Hinz > >> The 99 was also manufactured in Belgium for some time. > > As was the 96. > They were? Assembly in Belgium from 1973-1978, I thought also 96 but I now cannot find any references, only 99. > I know that the 97 was built in Finland, though? No, AFAIK only by ASJ in Arl?v, suburb of Malm?, southern Sweden. > > Some 93 (not 9-3) were assembled in Paraguay. > I have a feeling I'm missing a book.. Sorry, it was Uruguay (I always mix those two up....) see; http://www.granfoss.net/arne/k100e/bilar/carmakes/k1casaab.htm "In 1964 Saab opened a factory in Uruguay. Demand was so high, that buyers tried to buy cars even before they were completely finished and tested ..." -- MH '72 97 '77 96 '78 95 '79 96 '87 900T8 http://go.to/saab96 >>>>The 99 was also manufactured in Belgium for some time. >>> [quoted text clipped - 18 lines] > "In 1964 Saab opened a factory in Uruguay.

The ref. above is just one I found. This is his main page; http://www.granfoss.net/arne/k100e/bilar/ -- MH '72 97 '77 96 '78 95 '79 96 '87 900T8 http://go.to/saab96 >> OG900, NG900 and OG 9-3 Convertibles were actually made in Finland. Not the whole production runs of these models. >As was the last car of the 96 V4 model, you'll find a picture of it on >http://www.saabmuseum.com/96v4/index.html The factory in Nystad >(Uusikaupunki) also manufactured a few 95 (not 9-5!) and the 99 model. >The 99 was also manufactured in Belgium for some time. Some 9000 and the whole production run of the SAAB 90 were also made in Finland. The current convertible (based on SAAB 9-3 SS) is made in Austria. /Bengt Does anyone know Where is the 2000 year 9-3 convertiable is or was assembled? Thanks, Oscar > Does anyone know Where is the 2000 year 9-3 convertiable is or was > assembled? All cars should say so on the plate inside the driver's door. >Does anyone know Where is the 2000 year 9-3 convertiable is or was >assembled? It was most certainly assembled by Valmet in Finland. /Bengt > Are the 9-5's sold in the US made in the US or Sweden?... Is the 9-5 built > on a GM platform like some of the other some models? The 9-5 is assembled in Sweden for all markets, as are the 4-cyl turbo engines. The 9-5 is based on the former Vectra generation but with significant changes such as longer wheel base, wider track and a different suspension (the latter was further improved in 2001) Signatureth > Are the 9-5's sold in the US made in the US or Sweden?... Is the > 9-5 built on a GM platform like some of the other some models? My 2004 9-5 was made in Sweden, the engine was made in Germany, and the transmission was made in Japan. Said so on the sticker in the window when I bought it. HTH. SignaturePaxton C. Sanders pcsanders@yahoo.com |
