Jason Castriota to head Saab Design

When Car Design News spoke to Jason Castriota about the new design consultancy he had set up in New York and Turin back in March, the designer told us he was working on a very exciting automotive project that he couldn't talk about at the time. It turns out that automotive project was for Saab, as last week the Swedish automaker announced it had hired Jason Castriota Design to oversee the development of a new generation of Saab products – the first to be completed under the tenure of its new owners, Spyker. Castriota's new appointment marks the shift from Saab's former position – where the brand was an integrated company within GM – to its newfound placement as an independent automaker, with Castriota essentially filling the role previously occupied by Mark Adams, GM Europe's Vice President of Design.

There is also silver detailing such as the rope inlay on the front fascia and door capping.

Jaguar and me: an Italian reader's Jag romance

After that experience I had to learn as much as possible about Jaguar, how they were built and the whole history. After many years and passion, my interest in Jaguar is unchanged and today I have <a href="http://www.jaguar-mania.com" target="_blank">my own website</a> fan site dedicated to Jaguar. I love Jaguar because each model is the result of the passion of men and women interested in cars – they're made from the heart, they're art in motion.
