Both will run in 2012.
Dont really think they will both run if STCC bosses are trying to sell it off

It´s two different companies though. They are competing for the same audience but it´s vastly different cars.Dont really think they will both run if STCC bosses are trying to sell it off
It would be like comparing Porsche Cup to TTA or Swedish GT to TTA.I cant see it working but only time will tell i guess
And i love this one, seriously the coolest touring car ever made.
Touring Car Times said:Flash Engineering will run four cars in this year's new TTA series which are based on the Saab 9-3, in a tribute to the troubled Swedish manufacturer which is currently under receivership.
The Karlstad-based team has previously run BMWs in the Swedish/Scandinavian Touring Car Championship, but now makes a departure as part of a tribute to the troubled Swedish car manufacturer, which sees the number of brands on the TTA grid increase to four along with BMW (WestCoast Racing), Citroën (Brovallen Design) and Volvo (Polestar Racing).
The team will run four cars, with the three drivers confirmed so far including team owner/driver Jan 'Flash' Nilsson, Mattias Andersson and Linus Ohlsson (the latter running under the Team Tidö banner), with the fourth driver yet to be confirmed.
"I have longed for 40 years to see the fight between Saab and Volvo on the race tracks," said Flash MD/Driver Nilsson. "It becomes reality this summer and my biggest dream is to get all Saab fans to the TTA races to cheer us on."
New driver to the team Mattias Andersson added:
"I had a real 'wow-feeling' when I saw the Saab in TTA design for the first time. It is going to be great fun racing with a Swedish car and most of all to pick up the classic Saab versus Volvo fight that has been going on since I was a child. I am for sure looking forward to the coming season."
The team will also receive support from Saab Parts Sweden and the Saab Dealer Organisation
sorry to have to say this, but F*** THE TTA !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
and btw its not a "swedish car". all cars are exactly the same, just the shell that is diffrent.
and Brovallen do not have any kind of support from Citroën for their car/shell. not even sure they had permision to build it...

facepalm. It´s Saab-bodyshell vs Volvo-bodyshell. Hardly a true Saab vs Volvo battle.
But they are not running volvo´s or saab Nothing on them is Saab or Volvo except the modified shellStill a SAAB vs Volvo team wise as both ave personal and support from each of the brands.
Loose the touringcar fanatic shoes amigo
