Subject: Re: New Saab 9-3 Aero Convertible - advice please.


I have had my espresso black Aero sport saloon for a month now and it does look great (i think the best colour) when clean but very dull and ugly when dirty which lets face it is a day after i've cleaned here in scotland. So if you are lazy when it comes to cleaning your car then go with another colour.
