Hello, I'm new to the Saab world (but I've always been a fan). I was looking to buy a '96ish 900, but I heard a nasty rumor from another enthusiast that the 1994+ redesign was "very bad". He told me that it wasn't the same car as the 1993 - that Ford handled the redesign and "screwed it up" - that you could feel the difference by driving them both comparatively, etc. etc. (he wasn't very specific). Does anybody wish to confirm or refute this? Just using Ford and Saab in the same sentence makes me a bit queasy. Did Ford have a big part in the redesign? Do the two styles of car handle very differently? Are there now large maintenence issues? Do I have to think of it as an American car? Your opinion would be appreciated,... Thanks, Milt
