Yup, Saab has been including a toolkit with the cars since at least the 60's. Sure, you expect a lug wrench, but the spark plug wrench, torx bits, channel-lock pliers, and all that, sure are a nice plus. BMW includes (or at least, included) a tool roll with their motorcycles as well. Nice touch, doesn't really cost all that much, and definately a big customer satisfaction gain. Did you notice the plastic bag in the 900 for putting a flat tire into, so you don't crud up the interior? Dave Hinz
