I think C900 owners regard MY 1993 as a pivotal year and perhaps get a little confused about the engineering level of the 9000 around that model year as a result. I was not saying the older 9000s were inferior to the later ones. ... And for the look, it's all a matter of taste. I do like the facelifted Aeros and Anniversaries, but I think the CD looked a lot better with the larger headlamps and the Carlsson accentuated the rear windsreen very nicely. > When I get my finances back on track I'm intending to get the best '97 - maybe > '98 > 9000 I can lay my hands on.

A friend of mine has just replaced his 1994 CSE (which had pistons sticking out of the case) with a 1997 2.3 Anniversary. It's lurvely!!! Paul Var tog v”gen v”gen? SAAB : Nothing on earth comes close
