--------------0CE29385A2E1AE2066CACBE9 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=iso-8859-1 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit That´s the problem and exactly the point: compared to it´s class!!! Saab never paid attention to that and developed fine things! And that was the reason to buy a Saab! It seems they cannot remember what fine things they´ve done in the past - sorry! The hatchback is dieing and the (9000) CS is gone - WOW - now we´re offerd a stupid trunk! - or - an ugly estate - Congratulations!
