Is this the beginning of the end? I have a similar question, so I thought I'd post it in this thread. I've owned two SAABs in my life - an early 80s 900 8-valve Turbo, and an 1986 9000 Turbo. Both were excellent, excellent cars, with the 900 giving me over 300K stress free miles and the 9000 close to it. I'm currently driving a TDI Volkswagen, which, although nice enough, just has me yearning for a SAAB again. Here's the thing - I've been looking online at a couple of 1995 900 Turbo convertibles. The one thing I can't seem to figure out on my own is - what would I be getting if I bought one of these? Specifically - who made the engines? Are they similar to the old B series engines in my other cars? What about the transmission, suspension, brakes, and other important parts? I'm not necessarily against GM products, but before I part with my hard earned money, I want to make sure I'm not buying a Saturn with nicer trim. If the mid 90's 900s aren't SAABs as I remember them to be, I'll probably just stay with my diesel VW. I've tried researching this on my own, but I can't find the information I need. If anyone could help me out or point me to a good source of data, I'd appreciate it. Thanks! Rob Snyder
