My neighbor recently purchased a 2010 9/5 sedan. It's a beautiful car, however, when taken for a ride I noticed it squeeked, rattled and groaned to excess. Johnathon, the neighbor, loves the C900 but wife demanded a new car. He said the 9/5 lacks the solid k-thunk of the SiS doors and trunk and marveled at the lack of body and road noise associated with a 22 year old machine. Though my vert has been undergone a visual and performance modification, all original parts carefully packed away, its basic structure is untouched and still is as tight as the day it rolled off the Finish assembly line. QUESTION: Why the difference? Is it just his car? What engineering base-lines and contruction techniques were lost when SAAB transitioned from being a car manufacturer in its own-rite to a conglomerate sub-member?
