Last time I actually hit another vehicle with my Saab, was my '74 99EMS vs a Ford pickup head-on. The pickup was totaled, my car had $1500 damage... The most recent time, I avoided a guy who insisted in pulling out in front of me from a side street onto a 4-lane highway , and stopped. My '94 900SE's ABS let me miss him -- full braking while swerving violently to the left lane. You might get a better deal on the '98. There may be a few more goodies on the 9-3... --------------------- John R.
