it certainly deserved better.

They should sell the company to India. Then they could introduce male and female version of the cars and call them Saab and Memsaab.

Maybe they will sell Saab to the Chinese?

I'm a heretic because we've got a 9-5 as the family car. Even worse, its a diesel!

For the 'real' saabs, Turbo lag is something you get used to and they were never 0-60 worldbeaters but that mid-range lunge still gives me a blast. Once I've got the last of the rustproofing redone, I'm bunging a chargecooler in the 900.

Two 96s - impressive I'm threatining to but one but my other half has some 'issues' with this concept.

My inlaws have got a 9-5 estate and like it very much. It's an Aero and looks smart as well.

My dad's favourite was a 3 door black 900 turbo, but I remember the 99 EMS most of all. Many hours spent in the back of there going on holiday as a young scamp.

It's a 96 graveyard at his place. There's another 2 or 3 just slowly rotting away whilst being plundered for parts. The two road going ones are fantastic examples though.

I was talking about the plane but the special edition car was nice too.

My dad's had Saabs for years, he's got two rally-prepared 96's at the moment. He's also had 99s, 900s, and 9000s but none of the GM ones. I could never see what all the fuss was about to be honest. Turbo lag and front wheel drive meant interesting handling.

He drives a 9000 turbo at the moment, amongst others. It's a big old barge and very comfortable mind.

I thought saab were meant to be quality cars?

They're old model Vauxhalls with too much mascara.

I don't drive though, marketing man's dream me. Sold on a product I cannot use.

I watched one of those scum on the run type programs a while ago which said that the 9000 turbo was the car of choice for the scrotes in Manchester. If you park one in the city centre there is a very good chance it won't be there when you return. Something to do with a car that is easy to nick, goes like stink and is as tough as old boots.

They seemed to have dropped the viggen logo from the marketing.

Bit sad about this I suppose, as I've had various saabs over the years. I've nearly completely restored a 1992 900 and it is one of the most enjoyable cars I've ever driven. Bleedin' awful fuel consumption though.

GM are trying to hit up Europeans for $6 bill.
And why not? UK already promised a couple of billion to Tata motors, India.
And look at this:
“The Swedish state and taxpayers in Sweden will not own car factories,”
A clear, concise statement of reasonable intent. From a politician. Shocking

bargain!!
