Saab extends OnStar service despite Spyker buyout
Car maker Saab Cars North America, which recently was bought by Spyker, from GM, has made an agreement with OnStar to keep offering the subscription service to future Saab buyers. All model year 2010 and newer Saabs sold in the United States will be covered under the deal. The service is free for one year for buyers of the Saab 9-3 Aero and Saab 9-5 models and includes navigation guidance and emergency help.
Specific services include turn-by-turn navigation, notifying emergency response services when an airbag goes off and monthly vehicle diagnostic e-mails. Some of these also include a live operator that can handle specific requests for hands-free directions and service.
