I had a 1986 900 and sold it - I am still questioning that decision. I looked for a newer Classic 900, but did not find one, so I bought a Camry. The Camry is a fine commuter car and the perfect sleeper with the V6 and a 5 speed - going fast from point A to point B in a straight line, but it is definitely not a Saab, especially on the turns. Of course, the next year I found a 1990 900S, which I promptly bought. Any ideas on how to justify a second Classic to the wife? You may have bought an Audi, but you will be back for a Saab! Perhaps you will be able to keep both :-) The only problem with more than one car is you have to decide what to drive today. But then all of us should be so lucky to have that problem. If it is snowing, there is no question - the Classic is a great in the snow. > > So, when my wife was wanting a station wagon, we got her a Saab 9-5 Aero > Wagon.
