Saabs used to be hatchbacks with enormous interiors. Now they are just badge engineered vauxhall sedans.
Saabs also used to represent good value. Is there anyone on this forum that truly believes a 93 aero is competitive with a 328 at even money?
RIP Saab. We knew you well....

Gotta agree with you on the old Saabs in terms of utility, safety, seats, etc. But the pre GM cars sucked in many ways too. Old fashioned electrical systems, interiors full of rattles, major turbo lag, high maintenance costs, etc. I went from a Honda Accord to a Saab 900 turbo. I was appalled at the crudeness of the Saab. Hopefully Spyker will find a way to return the character to these cars while improving the quality. Otherwise, they're finished.
