To work for one\u2019s favourite company, in such an exciting industry and at such a unique time in history is an enthusiast\u2019s dream. I\u2019ve been on board with Saab for just two weeks and I\u2019m already bursting at the seams over the things I\u2019ll be able to share with you here. I\u2019m even more excited about the things I can\u2019t share, but we\u2019ll get to those eventually.<\/p>\n<p>Saab is blessed with a passionate and engaged enthusiast community. Rather than just have you read press releases, we want to bring you Saab\u2019s story from the inside, and from an enthusiast\u2019s point of view.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>How do we design and build our cars?<\/li>\n<li>Who are some of the people involved?<\/li>\n<li>What goes on behind the scenes?<\/li>\n<li>What happens at Saab events around the world?<\/li>\n<li>How can you connect more with Saab?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Find the archived Inside Saab\u00a0here: <a href=\"http:\/\/saabworld.net\/sites\/insidesaab\/\" target=\"_blank\">Inside Saab by Steven Wade<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Did you read Inside Saab? \u00a0What did you like about the blog? \u00a0Was there a favorite article or subject you liked best? \u00a0Please share your thoughts in the comments below. \u00a0As Swade mentions in his first post on Inside Saab: &#8220;A conversation needs two or more people.
