Personally speaking, I like it :) There's no heritage between the two cars, but (as I have said before) I do still maintain that the Skoda Rally and the Saab 99 look similar. I went for a curry with a workmate for lunch today and the drive there was fun. We were in my '85 900i and pulled off a roundabout behind a 99 (with me jumping around in my seat going "f*ck me, 99") ... and f*ck me (again) a Skoda Rally came in behind us. I just had to overtake the 99 (and grin on the way past ... It's something to do with big rubber bumpers and flat-nose Saabs, ya know) to compare the two in the rear-view mirror. You've enlightened us all Carl. I'm a Skoda spotter now :) Paul 1985 900i 16V 1989 900 Turbo S http://pjgh.go.dyndns.org/saab/index.html
