Saab Returns to Canada

Saab’s wings are fully grown now, and one of the brand’s first flights will be a trip to Canada.

In other words, Saab Cars North America (SCNA) and International Fleet Sales (IFS) announced that the marque will make its comeback on the Canadian market. SCNA and IFS are currently developing the import and distribution infrastructure for Saab cars.

"Saab Cars North America is proud to have successfully reached a memorandum of understanding with International Fleet Sales to begin providing high-quality, stylish and trendy Saab vehicles into the Canadian marketplace," said Mike Colleran, President and COO, Saab Cars North America.

"International Fleet Sales has experience distributing Saabs since 2005 when we exported the Saab 9-7X to Europe and the Middle East and now we look forward to working with SCNA to provide Saab vehicles to the Canadian marketplace," said Mike Libasci, President of IFS. "We also look forward to receiving new product from Sweden in the fall of this year."

The new development will debut with the 2011 model year vehicles, with approximately 20 dealers already showing interest for the marque. The automaker will release its range pricing in the following months.

An exciting line-up of Saab vehicles will arrive later this fall in dealer showrooms throughout Canada. The vehicles will maintain their rich Swedish heritage and premium engineering, styling and performance capabilities. An all-new Saab 9-3X premium cross-over has been added to the Saab line-up - the 9-3 sport sedan, 9-3 sportCombi and the 9-3 convertible as well as the all-new 9-5 sedan,” stated the press release.
