Griffin Up! – In support of Saab Automobile – click above to watch video<\/a><\/small><\/strong><\/em><\/div>\n

\nNeither Santa Claus nor the Grinch showed up for Saab<\/a> faithful over Christmas, as the troubled automaker remains in limbo, with General Motors not releasing any further announcements<\/a> over the holiday about the fate of several eleventh hour bids<\/a> for its Swedish Patient from Spyker and others.<\/p>\n

That silence hasn’t stopped fans of the marque from mobilizing on the Internet, as they’ve done everything from start a WordPress blob petition urging readers to boycott GM if they let Saab go under<\/a> to penning support letters and\/or eulogies for the fallen brand. One such individual, David Blumberg, has gone so far as to create an original song, Griffin Up!<\/em> and he’s created a video montage using both current and historical footage of the brand to show why he feels the brand is worth saving. Even if you’re not a fan of the brand (or the soundtrack), the video footage provides a good reminder of what Saab has added to the global automotive discourse, and it’s worth taking for a spin if only to see footage of the sublime Aero X concept or the official Saab stunt driving team or a rally-prepped 9-3 Viggen tearing up Pikes Peak.<\/p>\n

A final resolution of Saab’s fate is expected by New Year’s, but while your waiting, you can click through to the jump<\/a> to view Blumberg’s handiwork for yourself. Thanks for the tip, GPG!<\/em><\/p>\n
