    Saabs get their own diesel engines now ( since 2005 ), much better than the old ones.
    Is that the one made in collaboration with Fiat?

    Why is it inherent in our culture to despise success at every level?

    It is an interesting concept. If you remember IBM came up with the dark blue suit and white shirt because according to some so called clever research organisation this combination of clothing was the most acceptable form of attire least likely to create negative feelings from customers.

    I suppose a car conjures up similar reactions. I tend to agree with the f*** em attitude, but unfortunately this comes accross by the car you drive or clothes you wear- rightly or wrongly. As we have quite e number of our clients to who you must drive to go and see I do believe that the car needs to be fairly discreet without the F*** off element but at the same time not the "poor bastard" or cheapskate image.

    It also has to fit in with your age and status to a point. So an S class merc would not be quite right for someone under 40, likewise a honda Civic type R is not for 50 somethings.

    A second hand dark blue Saab with a white interior it is then

    I honestly congratulate with DA for being such a successful parasite of the society.

    Basically it's a VW or Audi under the skin.
    Yes Saabs are cool too.
