I just subscribed to this group yesterday and we are most likely going to buy our first 9-5 later this week through the gm A buyer discout. My wife's family is gm all the way and with SAAB being offered through the program now, we can take advantage and buy a good car. So if they hadn't merged with gm, I wouldn't be looking at them. -phil. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- curmudgeon: a crusty, ill-tempered, and usually old man
