Background

General Motors announced this past summer that it was selling their Saab division to a consortium of investors led by Swedish sports car maker Koenigsegg Automotive. We at Kelly Saab were happy to hear this news since the Saab brand is key part of our dealership, and we have built strong relationships with many loyal Saab customers here in Lancaster County and central Pennsylvania. We also have a great deal of respect for Christian von Koenigsegg, the founder of Koenigsegg Automotive, who – like the Kelly family – is passionate about cars and the automotive industry as a whole.

This is why we were somewhat dismayed last week when we were notified that Koenigsegg Automotive has chosen to close our Saab dealership. Since more than 8,000 Saabs have come through the doors at Kelly – with over 1,500 current and active Saab customers – we believe that Kelly Saab plays an integral role in the future of Saab here in the United States. The Kelly family has been in the automotive industry for over three decades, and owns 12 franchises in 6 locations along the eastern seaboard. We have deep ties to our customers and community in all these locations. To that end, we have respectfully contacted Koenigsegg Automotive to take a closer look at Kelly Cadillac Saab in order to realize the negative impact that closing this particular location could have on their chances for succcess.

So we’d like you, the customers of our Saab dealership, to let Mr. von Koenigsegg know what you think of our dealership, of your Saab automobile and the importance of keeping a Saab dealership within Lancaster County. Please click here to make your voice heard!

Thank you!
