Jesus what is with the testosterone-infused attempts at online-baddassery here? Some of you people are seriously over the top. Can you possibly come across as more insecure and defensive about your own four wheels? If your collective goals were to highlight just how ignorant you all are about Saabs, you’ve all succeeded in excess. Now get back behind the wheels of your A4s and 325is and chill the F out.

It appears that a majority of you have never driven or owned a Saab. Our experience began in 1987 and at the present time we have 3 in the family. The present 9-5 is entering its 10 years cosmetically but the capabilities far outweigh 90 % of the vehicles on the road.
My little 1999 9-3 Viggen puts a smile on my face after getting 30 MPG and leaving the MoPar boys in its dust. I guess a little 2.3L, turbo engine that can get 30 MPG and reach 155 MPH wasn’t in the Good-Old boys vocabulary or mentality. One other thing the Viggen ,that is a hatchback ;can carry a majority of any household’s items in complete security and not be bothered by the outside weather.

I like how Saabs look. They actually have cool designs. What I can’t stand are the turbocharged engines that lose to Smartfor-Twos in races…come on GM, put a little bit more effort into this line-up. Otherwise, just kill the line-up.

Why does Saab even still exist. Crap, and mind you out of date, design… they should put the world out of their misery.

Are there any buyers for this? Most of Saabs I see have new car dealers tags on.

New pricing from Saab! After rebates and desperation, you can buy these new for $28,000! Hurry in, they’ll be sitting on the lot for only two years before any takers… At least where I live in the midwest.

Good cars, I remember looking at them when I was a kid and thinking they were the neatest thing.. In 1998.

Sheesh. As if buying a regular edition 9-5 wasn’t bad enough, GM now offers you the opportunity to make an even worse purchasing decision.

I can’t stand the people who drive these things. They think they have a sports car of something. Anyone with a real sports car can put this car and driver in their place in a hurry
