Porscheophiles have the same problem with the 911. They simply stick 9 on to the year of release eg 993, 998 etc. Anyone talking about the 911 is thus seen to know nothing about Porsches. Simple to do the same with Saab but perhaps need 2 digits to differentiate 93 from 95 eg 9397 (?) 9303. (Or forget the 9 altogether and look like a Peugeot - 303 ;-) Chas
