Acronym for "Svenska Aeroplan Aktie Bolaget", meaning Swedish Airplane Company.
Saab is an aerospace manufacturer based in Sweden, who in post-war year of 1947 decided to start marketing a car called the "92" which used an engine derived from DKW (part of the old Auto Union in Germany). Saab went on to produce the 93, the 95, the Sonnet II and Sonnet III, the 96, 99, 900, 9000, 9-3, 9-5 and the new 9-2x. The automotive branch of Saab is no longer associated with the old parent aerospace manufacturer. 50% of Saab was purchased by GM in 1989, and the remaining 50% in 1999.
In 1986, when the Saab 9000 was introduced into the United States, it was the fastest (top speed) sedan sold in the US.
Saab did NOT invent the turbocharger, nor make the world's first turbocharged vehicle. However, the Saab 99 turbo was responsible for bringing turbocharged automobiles to the masses, and is considered the world's first WIDELY PRODUCED turbocharged car.

Ideally situated between Heysham Nuclear power station to the south, the faltering Sellafield Nuclear reprocessing plant to the north and The Nuclear Submarine Facility in the town centre. The background radiation gives Barrow a Mediterranean climate.
Residents of Barrow also enjoy 20% unemployment, chronic heroin addiction (dubbed Heroin Capital of the North), extreme violence and the highest rate of teenage pregnancies in Europe. Barrow can also proudly claim to have 3 of the its shore lines in Britains top 10 polluted beaches.
So why not try a place with a difference and try Barrow!
