It has nothing to do with reality. First of all : I know that Saab had to be saved financially. I don't give a damn if it was Porsche, Ferrari or Lada. The problem is that now there are people deciding major things that don't have the Saab-feeling or the proper and original ideas Saab had. Secondly : I'm really glad your V6 drives great, and I hope it keeps on driving great (I really mean that). My dealer and my mechanic happen to be very good friends of mine. I don't see any reason why they should tell me the V6 has caused them a lot of trouble when it wasn't like that. Although it drives great apparantly there were a lot of problems with cooling and the maintenance is more difficult. Anyway, I like Saab a lot. And I still do. I'm not stupid to deny that there had to been something but I just don't like it that they loose some of there originality. Loosing this has provided them a better sale though. Economics is one thing, feeling is another. No need to be agressive though, it's just my opinion. I like the new 900 too and I hope you'll enjoy it for a long time coming. Keep on Saab-ing.
