Geely might be interested in Saab, going for Swedish double

Posted: 09 Dec 2009 12:04 AM PST

Even though it is in heavy talks with Ford to buy Swedish car brand Volvo, it seems that Geely is taking some safety measures, and might also be interested in the other Swedish carmaker, Saab, which was recently left without a buyer after Koenigsegg backed down from talks with General Motors.

Speaking at a shareholder event, Geely executive Lawrence Ang neither denier nor confirmed the fact that his company is also in talks with GM for Saab. It’s worth to note that the Chinese brand did come up with an offer when GM revealed that it will sell Saab, but after Koenigsegg became the preferred bidder, it became more interested in Volvo.

With all the “musical chairs” talks going on for the two Swedish brands, nobody knows what to think. Hopefully, for the good of both Volvo and Saab, things will quiet down and all these talks will eventually come a solution.

Pagani Zonda F crashes in Hong Kong

Posted: 08 Dec 2009 05:23 AM PST

Ugh, these pictures bring a tear to my eye. It seems that a Pagani Zonda F owner from Hong Kong crashed the beautiful and rare vehicle in a row of parked cars while coming home from a track event. While details are scarce, it seems that the man tried to avoid an out-of-control truck, and had no other choice but to crash the million-dollar Zonda.

Only 106 such models were made, with 25 of them being Zonda F versions, which fetch for an even higher price. Their production will soon come to an end, but hopefully service support will continue and will bring back to life this special model, which wasn’t completely crashed.
