	Saab Toad - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Saab Toad, or Paddan in Swedish, was a development car Saab made in 1966 to test out the new chassis, drive train and engine for the Saab 99.
		The Toad used the body of a Saab 96, which was long enough for the purpose but had to be widened by 20 cm.
		Further development was carried out on the Saab 'daihatsu', a test car with the new body but badged 'daihatsu', to prevent its identification by journalists as a developmental Saab.

	[No title]
		Saab engineers, huddled around the drawing board in Trollhattan, Sweden, were plotting to produce a larger, more family-oriented car, with a four-stroke engine.
		Saab loaned roughly a hundred 99s to private motorists in Sweden, with the requirement that they keep an extensive log book and be willing to offer the car back to the factory for occasional check-ups.
		Saab had been producing front-wheel drive cars since 1950, so they knew a thing or two about producing strong driveshafts that were capable of handling the power output and severe duty planned for the 99.

	Saab 99 (1976) - page 2
		Early 99s carried over the freewheel transmission from the Saab 96, but the freewheel was removed with the introduction of the 1.9 L engine, possibly on account of the extra power that the apparatus would have to transmit.
		The 99 was Saab's last rally car, first in EMS guise and later as the Turbo version.
		The Saab 99 turbo was the first 'family car' to be fitted with a turbo; other contemporary turbocharged automobiles were very 'specialised' vehicles and were difficult to drive.

		But of course the high heyday for the Saab's enigmatic Swedish charisma was a good decade and a half ago, and now there's a different kind of market battle to be fought.
		Saab has also gone to a lot of trouble to make the 9-3 hostile to thieves.

		The demand for such a car in the USA was clearly evident, and fellow Connecticut resident Ralph Millet, then President of Saab Motors here in the states, was fully behind Walter in his design proposal.
		However, Saab executives in Sweden balked at the idea, asserting that Saab could develop its own sports car if needed, and as a result, the Swedish-designed Catherina, MFI 13, and ultimately Sonett came into being, while Walter's Quantums went into private hands back here in the states.
