Your "personal experience" has shown itself to be especially slanted, Kenneth. I wanted to make sure that someone isn't basing their entire opinion based on one person's rant. > For most people, ownership of a particular brand of automobile > does not generate religious fervor.

Yes, and I've had no problems of any significance with my Saabs, so our experience apparently varies. I mean, come on. You had an air conditioner problem. Yah, that'll happen, to a Saab, a Mercedes, a Dodge, or any other car. They're expensive to fix, yes. Oh well. There's nothing *unique* about air conditioner problems, nor about Saab's implementation of air conditioning systems which would make it either more likely to fail, or more expensive to fix. I never claimed Saab is perfect, Kenneth, but you continue to not give Saab a fair shake due to your own experiences. For some reason, I don't think that anything at all that they do would make you happy. Dave Hinz
