I would never have bought a Saab if I had done that. The Dutch Saab ads (especially radio) are really horribly elitist and spoken in an obnoxious posh voice. I used to own a really old rusty Opel station car with a hole in the side that I called 'Achmed' because that type of car was particularly favored by Turkish immigrants living in Holland. Unfortunately the engine died on me some day. I never bothered to name a car since... X.
