Get Real, I think by “mainstream” they mean “not exotic”. Very grey area, though, I agree.

Press preview at a racetrack somewhere in the south, launching one of SAAB’s then-new, heated up front-drivers.

Eric Carlsson was giving riders a taste of sideways; got a little hot, slid into the sand, the car jacked and rolled a couple of times, landing roof down. Eric and a very white writer climb through the flattened window frame.

Bob applauds. Then everyone. Without a beat, Sinclair says, “another sale, sticker price… insurance company’s a great customer.”

Few left like him. He’ll be missed.

Mainstream ???

No disrespect for adead man, but a dying car company is not “mainstream”

Madcapp, you’re right, it’s a Saab 93. The four-stroke V4 didn’t come along until the model 96 (and 95 wagon).

I’ll bet you that’s an old 2 stroke Saab.

I’m not a Saab fan, but he still has my respect. May he rest in peace.

May Saab live on forever in his memory. I’ve been a Saabophile since he was in charge.
