Saleen is back!!!

[R1der]

So happy to see this news. Steve Saleen reacquires Saleen name and brand

 

[Dirks9901]

Just heard this. Awesome news for Saleen owners

 

[soccerman002]

Glad to see this - that whole mess back in '07 was sad to see.

This is good news. I always liked Saleens

 

[thepizz]

Thank god. I figured it was only a matter of time he took it back. I understand he wanted to venture off but that company was destroying the brand that he built.

 

[oldmodman]

Must have been really annoying to not be in control of your own name.

Can't wait to see what he does with the company now.

I wonder if he will ever release the special paint codes so you can get your non Saleen car painted one of his special colors.

I want to paint my 03 Cobra "Beryllium".

Now give us a Saleen S8

Cool, now make a new Saleen Mustang that doesn't cost a stupid amount of money.

[GOTSVT?]

Awesome news!

 

[mike1284]

good deal, always liked saleens

 

[PSUCOBRA96]

guy seemed to really care about his customers and the company he built, not to many builders are like that

 

[ponyboyisaac]

Thats awesome. I hope his new cars have the old saleen logos and badges again, I wasnt to crazy about the new sms logos. No offense to any sms owners on here.

So what's gonna happen to SMS?

In the press release it basically said from here on out all cars built will be Saleens again, And SMS owners can opt to get Saleen badges for there SMS vehicles.

i wonder how the real story played out, with the lawsuit or whatever. i bet the other owners weren't enjoying too much success during their ownership. i know i havent seen ONE of the newer saleens on the streets since they took over. granted, ive only seen an SMS car twice. one mustang at the big ford show last year and a challenger on the freeway not too long ago. that's it. but i bet with the cars being saleens again, with him at the helm, we'll start seeing them around again. good news for sure. unbelievable that he took on the warranties that the "new" owners had cancelled. hell we have to fight ford to honor our own warranties, and theyre 1000x bigger than saleen lol :burn:

i hope his saleen camaros and challengers do well. pretty cool to see those brought on board. im sure there are saleen purists that are going nuts about that lol

the cars look pretty good. the 25th anniversery model looks pretty badass

I'm surprised by this, but it's certainly great news. I'll bet Steve takes this company now to new heights. Very good news for Saleen fans and those wanting a Saleen Mustang.

 

[kevinatfms]

im glad he got the reins back to his company. i wonder who was outing him? board of trustees or maybe a few lower CEO/CFO/CAO's?

hope to see a few new saleen mustangs and how a new supercar comes out.

I'm in no way knocking Saleen owners or their cars..

That being said, I met Steve Saleen once, and he was the most arrogant douchebag I'd ever met. Totally turned me off to him and his cars.
