Value is one of the C & D catagories that often disqualifies Saab. When
loaded V-6 models are compared against Lexus, Acura etc., I think the
sticker hurts Saab. They are wonderful cars & reliablity has improved
dramatically, but the automotive world is so competitive today, Saab has
it's work cut out for it. I drove a 260 h.p. Acura TL - type S, amazing
for $31,500. Great ergonomics like Saab, great interior materials & one
of the best sports suspensions (double wishbone) out there.
Alot of our fellow Saaber's remain in denial about Japanese cars. The TL is
a rock solid 3,500 lb. performance sedan. Yet I constantly hear the Accord
label applied to the TL, in a thoughtless put down that just shows the
ignorance of the member. No wonder they don't get C & D!!
Oh yeah, to be perfectly honest, I will probably buy a TL for my next car.
My '96 9000 CS was a money pit that was always in the shop. Still love Saabs, but I drive too much in sales to put my hard earned $38,000 into a
new 9-5 just yet.
