A reasonable question. In Danish language, the 'aa' is often used as a substitute for the letter å (if you don't have the å key). This would suggest Såb, but that is of course completely wrong.
Neither. It's pronounced "Sahb"
AND WITH THE EMPHASIS ON "PRIDE".
Or Sob (in English, of course)

Or often, in English SOB
or s. o.b.

Well, if looked at the actual abbreviation that SAAB stands for: Svneska Aeroplan AktieBolag (roughly Swedish Aeroplane Limited) the both a's should be pronounciated as one long a. Phonetically written sahb.

That´s correct!

I have some vague memories that it was once pronounced Såb in Denmark, many years ago.
...maybe it's pronounced 'Sob' if your cam belt breaks... :o)
It is pronounced "sucks" if it has a GM engine :-(
What is a Cambelt?
LOL ! Something I don't need to worry about any more !
Of course now you can cry into your beer about them given the latest 'Saab' engines.

I knew really. My Celica has one. Even though the last owner says he changed it, he couldn't produce a reciept, so it has always been a bit of a worry. And at about $450+vat for a dealer parts and labour for the belt, tensioner, idler and labour, it is a bit pricey.

Do it yourself, man. It can't be that hard.
Actually, it's pronounced "Throat-Warbler-Mangrove"

Well played, sir.
LOL. Even indy specialists who work for the club almost exlcusively let out a big sigh when requested to book on in. Half of the job needs to be done from above. Half from below, and you need to move the car up and down 3 or 4 times to do it properly.
There isn't a convenient "hatch" or view port to get at doing it.
