Everything about The Saab 600 totally explained
The
Saab 600 was a
rebadged Lancia Delta motor car, sold by
Saab after a deal with
Lancia.
The deal was a part of the 1980s co-operation between
Swedish Saab Automobile and the
Italian Fiat Group (which included Lancia and
Alfa Romeo in addition to Fiat). The co-operation also resulted in the '
Type 4' project, which provided the common platforms for the
Saab 9000, the
Lancia Thema, the
Fiat Croma and the
Alfa Romeo 164).
The 600 was developed because, at the time, Saab didn't have the finances to support the production of entirely new models and looked to other companies in order to provide a new model line-up.
Versions available were 1500 base, 1500 GL and 1500 GLS, as per Saab nomenclature of the era.
The first years it was sold as GLS and the exclusive GLE, but due to poor sales because of the high price tag the GLE-model was later dropped from the lineup.
The
Saab 600 was designed by
Giorgetto Giugiaro and, in common with the company's other models, was a
front-wheel drive and a
hatchback, with a
rallying pedigree. Saab helped with the design of the 600/Delta. As a result of this
Scandinavian input, both the Saab-Lancia 600 and the Lancia Delta had better resistance to
rust than most
Italian cars and were better suited to a cold climate. The Lancia Delta earned the
European Car of the Year Award in 1980.
The Saab 600 was sold in Sweden and
Norway only.
