After 1987 they were all about the same, with small improvements each year. 1988 was probably the biggest, when a water-cooled turbo and rear-activated hand brake were installed; 1990 the next major leap when ABS and airbags were installed. If you're going after an SPG, '90 or '91 are the best choices. My web page has more info, if you're interested: http://www.bfp.net/saabweb/900history.htm -Justin
