Saab Cars North America has started its first leasing event as a new company this week, focusing on the 2010 9-3 models, according to multiple news sources including Automotive news.

I’d be interested in what my favorite Saab, the 9-3x with a manual transmission, will lease for too.

Here’s a snippet of the article by Automotive News on leasing.

DETROIT — Saab Cars North America kicked off its first sales event as a new company today — a leasing program for the 2010 Saab 9-3.

Saab can move on the marketing front now that it has begun slowly building up its U.S. pipeline. The 9-3 has been trickling into the United States since late March. Before that, dealers had not had a shipment of Saab vehicles since last June.

“We had to start from scratch,” said Michael Colleran, COO of Saab Cars North America. “We’ve got a great team in place; we’ve got leasing; we’ve got the pipeline in place, and inventory is rising.”

Saab is offering a 2010 9-3 Sport Sedan 2.0 with automatic transmission for $399 a month with a $3,374 down payment; the term is 48 months. Advertising to promote the lease program will be primarily newspapers, direct mail, digital and social media. Some co-op advertising is planned. The program expires June 1.

    I’d be shocked if they have leased 1 car. The lease price is 50% higher than the last car I leased. Why bother its cheaper to buy the car or way cheaper to lease a competitive make. Yikes!! I guess thats why sales are so weak, hopefully SCNA will open their eyes and figure that out for themselves

    You don’t get low lease rates like you had without heavy subventing. Unless Mr. Antonov throws his hat into the ring to assist with financing, I would be surprised if Saab can afford to support such low rates. Notwithstanding, I don’t think sales are sluggish due to costly leases, but due to lack of product in showrooms.
