Re:1.609.000 km s c900 - 25.12.06 12:25
Kot nekateri že veste, je Peter Gilber iz Wisconsina pravkar prevozil 1.000.000 milj s svojo c900 Turbo, 1989. Avto je podaril muzeju avtomobilske zgodovine v svoje rodnem kraju. SAAB USA mu je najrpej hotel pokloniti majico 
Po vsej medijski propagandi pa so bili "primorani" ponuditi kaj konkretnejšega. Sedaj dobi 9-5 Aero.
Članek iz Associated Press-a:
"Saab offers car for million-mile drivers
MILWAUKEE (AFX) - Peter Gilbert has been given a brand new Saab (Stockholm: SAABB.ST - news) for free, but he first had to log more than 1 million miles on his old one.
Last summer, Saab executives verified the mileage on Peter Gilbert's old car and talked about exhibiting it in a Swedish museum but didn't.
Gilbert, a traveling salesman, then donated the 1989 Saab 900 SPG to the Wisconsin Automotive Museum, telling the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel at the time he was a little disappointed he hadn't gotten so much as a Saab T-shirt, much less a replacement auto.
Once Gilbert's story was told, the company decided to provide him with a new Saab 9-5 Aero and offer one to anyone who put 1 million miles on a Saab as the original owner.
'We have no idea, frankly, how many cars that will be. At this point, we only know of Peter's car,' said Jan-Willem Vester, a spokesman for Saab, which is a division of Detroit-based General Motors Corp (NYSE: GM - news) .
Gilbert is due to get his new car early next year. 'I am on cloud nine right now. This is exactly the car I wanted,' he said Monday.
