Don't know why there's so much animosity toward Saabs unless it's based exclusively on GM-era cars. Saabs were actually pretty cool from about the early '70s through the early '90s, peaking with the first-generation 900 Turbo shown above. The second-gen 900 was just OK (particularly the Viggin model) but everything that followed was devoid of character.
I remember reading an issue of Road & Track or maybe Car & Driver when I was a kid that did a sports sedan shootout. As I recall, they ranked the Saab 99 EMS at the top of the list, just above the BMW 320iS. How times have changed ...Last edited by ainadude; 09-09-2011, 06:24 PM.ainadude

My father is actually a saab mechanic. The classic models are awesome cars. In my opinion GM screwed the name up. I do however own a 1995 900 as my daily driver, its pretty garbage to drive but its cheap as hell to run and its pretty damn reliable.Comment

I've always loved Saabs, the only car ever that can pull off a 3 spoke wheel.sigpicComment

Saab styling is like the plumber with major asscrack issues.Your signature picture has been removed since it contained the Photobucket "upgrade your account" image.

A 60's saab is way ahead of its time styling wise.

Ya dude honestly, in my opinion saab owners are a little more extreme than say your average volvo owners. Their niche is way deeper. That's one thing I love about them - how so many people hate them.

Anyone here who cannot appreciate the beauty of the classic 900 SPG can suck my dick because obviously you haven't driven or owned one.
