Of all the things i dislike about GM, what they've done to the Saab brand is still a ways down the list. The 9-7x??? Please. The 9-1 due in 2010 will be Swedish designed and built, so I haven't lost complete faith in the brand.
I have an '02 9-5 sportswagon and a '99 9-3, both still have saab motors and the 9-5 is a joy to drive, the 9-3 is pretty ok w/ tweaks, both are fast, hold gear and i
average around 30mpg combined on both.
