Ha, if looks were the only criterium, then the Volvo is out of the question. There was recently a BBC motoring program testing precisely those three cars. A crowd of bystanders was then asked to choose, they had no hesitation choosing the Saab convertible for looks. The Volvo was the least popular because they couldn't get the Volvo estates out of their mind. The Beamer was also good, but expensive and too common. Johannes
