This point about handling well in snow... Does anyone else think that one reason this get mentioned is partly because SAAB works to get the CG of the car at the hip point of the driver? That's my theory... maybe it's something else but it seems that charging into a slippery turn feels different in SAABs and they seemed to maintain this through to the GM900 at least. -meld Grunff wrote: > Hdgdn wrote: > >> This is my first real "winter" with my Saab, (1988 900s 16v, 197K >> miles).
