Agreed, this is much better than the current top gear

AND They should still be going when the original trio retire

Absolutely agree

This is literally what I thought aswell

When they get Lewis Hamilton on as a guest then we will know they have surpassed Top Gear.

Let’s hope one day their automotive branch will be revived or that NEVS will release their 9-3 to the world

Same

We need tesla to pick up the designers and rights

Indeed, i hope all Saab drivers keep it on the road, and maintain it very well. I love my Saab

@@PieterWigboldus General Motors hung them out to dry. Such a shame

Vectra*

a verified you tuber :)

I was thinking at the start of this episode that it felt very Top Gear. Now we just need a holiday special where they drive through the Amazon in 4x4s bought sight unseen through an online website.

and on that bomb shell

@@arinautic734 Massively modified Vectra...almost to the point of being a completely different car.

Because Swedish cars are the best Volvo Saab can't go wrong with one I've previously owned a 89 volvo740 with well it displayed 323.000 miles but the clocks were broken so more like 400.000 still ran like new with no rust at all and everything worked to heated seats windows the lot

@@medler2110 nice that proves reliability kind of the same story for me but with a Volvo I was working for my uncle as a teen around 6 and a bit years ago our work car had a gear box issue so we picked up a Volvo 850 as a stopping gap was 300 pound brought of the bloke who got it new only 60.000 miles we put about 40.000 miles on it then got another van the van never lasted long we regretted selling the 850 as it's still on the road today I'll soon be getting another Saab or Volvo

Saab is the best!

You mean that Opel Vectra? :)))

Puma either

@@MJ-uk6lu nah I'll be kinda embarrassed lol

@@jeff1595 Why? It looks like a normal car, nothing particularly weird about it. It reminds me of Mazda MX-3.

Yeah the Saab is easily the best car there by far. The boys need to do their homework on the GM Saab saga as that car is much more than a vectra that’s why Saab went under.

@@MJ-uk6lu it looks wierd

@@Swoosh_TV get your link bait outta here

The best multipla is on his way right know A French yt channel called Vilebrequin is currently making one that is gonna be over 1000hp 😅 it’s worth checking even if you don’t speak French

Michael Schumacher actually had a Multipla as his daily driver!!! god knows why. Plus is it just me that would of put the xmas trees in the other way around to go with the branches instead of against them ???

Btec top gear but its not too bad truth be told. Il be watching.

They need more of the road trip videos, good combo of cars, exploration and banter.

Ethan's new name is now lil racer

So true 👍👍 can’t beat an estate 😹

If a saab was good, then the brand would still exist 😂😂

@@danieljakobsen1289 no, it didnt die because saab was shit. It died because general motors is a disgusting company.

@@danieljakobsen1289 Also, Saab were very good at making cars, they just weren’t very good at making them profitable.

If you are good at making cars you don't stop doing it because of some bigger company or because you can't make profit out of them. If you stop you're just not good at making cars.

Like chris Harris?

@@mrbox111 new top gear isn't top gear, just one decent host doing stuff by himself

@@mrbox111 Chris Harris is alright though....

@@jarrusjenkins I think he was saying that Chris Harris is a petrol head, making the point that there’s at least one still left on top gear. He wasn’t saying Harris is a clueless celeb

Tbf those guys are actually all petrolheads big time. Look into them. They’ve all done track days they’ve all had proper cars. Flintoffs first car was a Porsche for fuck sake.

yeah... felt the need to comment too... trunk first FFS !!!

Always trunk first

it bothers me so got damn much, just fkn turn it around and throw it in! XD

they are trying to bend the crap out of those branches and scratch everything in its path

They could’ve put it in backwards

as someone who used to be a saab tech, can confirm they are nice cars.

I was like yay! When I saw it.

yea that blew me away, i didnt know the saab was fwd from the way he drifted

bruh..I thought it was rwd too

@@mattmathew6706 ikr, it looked so fluid as the supra which is rwd. The only part I noticed is when the car straightened up again

It has some (minimal) passive rear wheel steering which helps oversteer a lil’ bit

It was epic, surprised me too

We also had a saab when i was grownig up

I knew a guy who's dad was aparrantly a Saab salesman lol

still ride my '89 900 every day, lovely car.

That passenger side rear tire though 😬

@@Ce0ammer it did not look at all satisfied with the process.

Oliver Amon posted a video called Multipla Drift, take a look at it, its brilliant

@@medler2110 Yep, remember when GM said "hey SAAB people, the message is COMMON PLATFORM CHASSIS... The base of all the models will be the same with just different cabins and body designs, so we can enjoy the economy of scale it gives us" ...and the saab guys just muttered a bit and made theirs a couple of inches longer... Shortly after, GM gave up trying to get SAAB to conform to modern car production philosophy and let the brand die. Same when ford bought JLR and tried to get them to be something remotely resembling profitable... No good being quirky if you just hemorrhage money

Nobody else is gonna do it

Loved this

I wanted a 9-5 aero turbo wagon so bad but by the time I could afford one they were out of production

How on earth is that car £500? Even if it only runs for a day it's worth that to have broken down outside your house making you look good.

I drive one of these. They don't cost a lot more than that and they are pretty dull but you get an awful lot of car for the 💰

Got a 9-3 sedan with automatic, 400bhp and a good set of coilovers, the best car ive ever driven👌🏼

I had the 9-3 1.9tid vector. Forever in limp mode. Was overfuleing badly. So got rid. Do miss it though.

It’s sorta funny how he still hasn’t sold it. It’s the only one that they’ve kept

That multipla would be absolutely screwed

That'll be another win for the Saab then...

@@thatpersonsmusic why the multipla in particular? Edit: ok just seen to the end of the drifting.

@@benholroyd5221 Is it not obvious that that car is on its last legs?

that puma is gonna need some chassis rust repairs 😂

well said saaabsssss are tooooooo gooood

but it is a vectra in drag.

@Do One all a matter of opinion - that opinion being ...... the Saab is better... better built, solid engines and an individual car

I will probably get a 9-3 like that in a couple of years when I get my driver’s license. However I’ll probably buy a convertible or a saloon with a petrol engine and a manual.

Wait till they realise the Multipla has the same engine as the saab.

About time.

They just forgot «And i was the first to arrive»

If they drop a "COME ON GRIPPY PENIS WHEELS" in there I think I will burst laughing

@@stc3145 I know right? I mean "How hard can it be?"

Curborough. Excellent sprint circuit in the midlands.

No they shouldn't because they would destroy them and there aren't many about.

In Sweden where SAAB was invented they're one of the most common cars on the roads after Volvo.

True. The level of sympathy it's pretty much the same...

Yep

There's a reason you cant find volvo wagons (except maybe the old 740s) that cheap

@Ken Norcott that's fair, except for the rust might just be because i'm in sweden but the only saabs without rust i've seen are brand new ones or completely rebuilt old classics

Yup me! A 9.5 ! 2007 model ! Station. 400.k ! With no major issues. Best car i had zo far! ....Nissan Primera Honda Accord .fiat essee essee . Saab 9.5 /1999 . A 9.3/2006 .a .9.3/ B206R. Now a 9.5 vector ttid . 250bhp . At 550nm tourge .....💪🏻

That saab was a steal!

slow

Sure is! They would of had alot more fun tho if they had a 2.3t 95. Not the 260hp one, but the 185hp

Great success!

I like.

I own a saab 9-3 aero 2.0t petrol 240hp that car is amazing beautiful to drive very comfy snd has a lots of featurs that half of new cars dont so fuck tou ethan

Yeah, but it got left behind for 99% of the drag by a Multipla.

500 for the saab, and they like fffttttthh, Geeez. But its so much car for the money! And the position of the key. I know one person that got her hand pierced by a key on the keyring. Half the key was through the hand.

@@wodspy666 It was the nicest car.. but it was painfully slow off the line, you would have to be extremely patient to ever pull out onto the road in traffic.

These 3 would be much more enjoyable at the current top gear 💯

Isn't jack too tall to be Hammond 😂

I thought the same

A literal anti-theft system

huh but who would steal a Saab? ha ha ha

That’s for the older saabs, not on this generation, on the older it would let you lock the car only if the cars in reverse and it would lock into that

No. The original reason to place the ignition lock in the centre console (on Saab 99) was indeed to avoid injury on drivers knee during a crash. The gearbox lock on reverse was simply done because a steering lock wasn't really feasible then.

Doesn't unlock nor lock the gearbox.

To be fair it's more similar to early top gear

In my opinion,Grand Tour is Car Throttle is at home because I feel C.T. is wayyy better.

@@sarangtambe3585 your opinion is wrong lol

@@iaw7406 opinions are opinions, they cant be wrong

i was surprised when i heard it is for that price

Just imagine how bad the rust problem is to drive the price that low

Unfortunately the rust is included, so maybe it's a fair price...

I paid £100 for a saloon the same age last year. Was destined for the scrappy and I was going to use it for spares. Decided to try for a MOT. Some new tyres and a new front spring saw a clean ticket and I sold it on to a mate to be his daily car. Rust isn't usually what kills them off

Waxed, too
