Press: Saab On Track For Best Year Ever

Saab Cars USA on track for best year ever

* October new car sales are up 82 percent versus last year.
* Year-to-date sales growth is up to 26 percent over 2002.

Norcross, GA - October proved to be yet another month of increased sales for
Saab Cars USA. New car sales tallied in at 3,349 vehicles, up 82 percent over
1,844 units last year. This brought year-to-date sales to 40,808, a 26
percent increase over 2002.

The Swedish manufacturer surpassed 40,000 units in the U.S. on Friday morning
- the first time Saab has reached this number in 16 years.

'The sales network is maintaining the strong momentum - as we have asked them
to,' said Ed Peper, Vice President of Sales for Saab Cars USA.

Saab's MVP for 2003 has been the 9-3 Sport Sedan. This all-new product went
on sale in mid-October 2002. At that time, Saab executives forecast that the
Sport Sedan would double the sales volume of its predecessor, the 9-3
hatchback and coupe models. And that is precisely what it has done.

Comparing model year 2002 9-3 hardtops with model year 2003 9-3 Sport Sedans,
here's how the numbers fall out: 10,884 9-3 hardtops versus 24,077 9-3 Sport
Sedans, a 121 percent increase.

'Our 9-3 Sport Sedan is the fuel behind the Saab Cars USA sales this year,'
said Debra Kelly-Ennis, President of Saab Cars USA. 'The popularity of our
new Sport Sedan positively affects sales of other models as well. Consumers
are visiting our showrooms in higher volumes, and seeing more Saabs on the
road next to them.'

The Saab Certified Pre-owned program continued its positive contribution to
the overall sales performance. October sales reached 878 vehicles, a 109
percent increase over last year. Year-to-date Saab CPO sales are at 8,059
vehicles, an 89 percent improvement over 2002.
