The 67th Annual Geneva Car Show - 1997
by Paul Negyesi
Saab
"The Saab 90 was an aeroplane. The Saab 91 as an aeroplane. The Saab 92 was - a car!" - this is how Saab's informative booklet starts. Saab celebrated the 50th anniversary of car-making. The first "Ursaab"
prototype 92001 was
shipped from the Saab museum to help the celebration.
Also pictures were shown about the new 9-5.
This car has to generate
sales because Saab is in trouble. A new man was sent recently from General
Motors to cut costs and to do something with the once prestigious
Swedish carmakers. A sportier Saab 900 is on the cards, but plans for
a smaller Saab have been shelved.
Volvo
"When the saints marchin' in" - once the Volvo P1800 coupé appeared in the movie The Saint, now the new C70 Coupe is also going to be on the big screen!
A new line of sporting models, known as the R-models were introduced. They're the S70R and the V70R and the AWD 4-wheel-drived V70R estate.
