400 miles per SAAB

Just returned from a WI to FL trip - drove my 06 9-5 wagon 2400 miles. After we left WI saw a grand total of 6 Saab's on the road - one per 400 miles. None in FL, 3 in AL and 3 in TN/IL. Normally I notice other Saab's so I don't think many slipped past. A newer 9-3 approached on the backroads of Hwy 87 in S. AL and we exchanged a friendly wave.
Great to not be among the many other drivers of "common" cars on the road. MPG's ranged from 26 in a strong headwind to over 30 with a tailwind - all at an average of 74 mph. Was fun to open her up a bit in passing situations and feel the turbo kick in. Really was a comfortable trip. Wagon held luggage and beach gear for 4 - with room to spare.
Looking forward to what Spyker will be able to achieve and hope they can keep our beloved Saab's in production for years to come.
