Car Forum / Saab Cars / October 2005A tagline change?
Once again, ad agency attempts to dig lamely into Saab's now ever more distant (albeit more interesting) past by conjuring up the new tagline "Born From Jets". At this point, it just sounds fairly hollow...really...how many engineers still at Saab cars actually also worked in aircraft design (while it still had some fledgling connection to Saab AB)? That connection doesn't exist anymore at all outside historical contexts. I suppose it's not any more hollow than their prior tagline "State of Independence". just my 2 bits - tex Salutations: > Once again, ad agency attempts to dig lamely into Saab's now ever more > distant (albeit more interesting) past by conjuring up the new tagline "Born [quoted text clipped - 8 lines] > just my 2 bits > - tex Perhaps - but I gotta say that I dearly wish I could get my turbo to sound like that around town.

Besides, jets = cramped seats, confusing instruments, high fuel consumption, and worse: only three wheels! >> Once again, ad agency attempts to dig lamely into Saab's now ever more >> distant (albeit more interesting) past by conjuring up the new tagline [quoted text clipped - 10 lines] > consumption, > and worse: only three wheels! The Gripen's instrument layout is really good and while it may not have the space of a 9-3, having an afterburner really makes up for a lot;) The Gripens 27mm canon would be wonderful for left lane bandits too. > ... The Gripens 27mm canon would be wonderful for left lane bandits too. I think that could well be worth $3k as an option, canon + special tires to be able to drive over the debris + addition to the SID to add to the confirmed kills counter. :-) ...pablo > > ...

This would be great! Make sure you show the cockpit then a given highway in front with various SUV's, etc. Remember the key points that must be included in the new (revised) cockpit. - 27mm canon switch - updated SID for kills counter - Navigation with heat sensing option for "Locking onto" various "movable objects" that need to be "offed" (ie. SUV's, Ricers, etc.) - Mid-Drive refueling Accessory for 18-wheeler tankers for those who just hate having to stop if they are making great time!! > >> Once again, ad agency attempts to dig lamely into Saab's now ever more > >> distant (albeit more interesting) past by conjuring up the new tagline [quoted text clipped - 14 lines] > space of a 9-3, having an afterburner really makes up for a lot;) The > Gripens 27mm canon would be wonderful for left lane bandits too. I concur, also meeting the physical requirements to completely remove an annoying SUV at a moments notice. heheh SG > > Once again, ad agency attempts to dig lamely into Saab's now ever more > > distant (albeit more interesting) past by conjuring up the new tagline "Born [quoted text clipped - 5 lines] > Besides, jets = cramped seats, confusing instruments, high fuel consumption, > and worse: only three wheels!
