There was one that was called something like (phonetic) millechinkqua-quatrichentoh. Saab should call their models by long Swedish names -- or even better, since some of them are built in Finland, by long unpronounceable Finnish names with lots of double letters. I certainly don't think there will be much of a market for a Saab Vega.
