Saab Automobile AB, but commonly branded as SAAB, is an automaker from Trollhattan, Sweden which was founded in 1945. It came about because of the Swedish Aerospace and Defence company “Saab AB” began a project to design a small car, which ended up being the Saab 92. That model was first seen in 1949, but Saab's most successful ever car was the Saab 900 which arrived almost 30 years later in 1978.
Saab has a great reputation in Sweden, and their cars are regularly known as the “Well-built Swedes” and the “Command Performance Car”. It's so well respected in its home country that the Swedish King honoured the company with the exclusive Royal Warrant for automobiles.
Outside of its native country, Saab's sales are best in the United Kingdom and the USA, and its current model is the Saab 9-3, a compact executive car which was first made in 1998.
Saab is known for its rigorous attention to detail when it comes to the safety of its drivers, so it puts all its cars through the famous elk test, and it also records all accidents throughout the world in which Saab cars are involved.
