The sad part is, GM would force Saab to use as many common GM parts as possible in the commemorative/vintage C900. A saturn engine and those crappy electrical components that keep failing under warranty in all of the other GM models. Perhaps they will even buy the fire starting FORD cruise control units - because they are cheaper. To quote the GM execs "No one cares what is in the car, all they want is the Saab name".

So they should use the other 50% for the C900, C9000 and NG900 by bringing them back as commemorative / vintage editions which of course use today's technology, so everything would be virtually upgraded (not falling back to shotty replacements found here in there in contemporary models). > > You know they had the Viggen, but they could always bring in models such as the following > > "Gripen" > "Draken" > "Tunnan" > "Lansen" > "Safir" > > Also keep in mind Talladega was had in 1986 with the C9000 and 1996 with the NG900, so why can't Saab run the 9-3 SS in 2006 down at Talladega international speedway? > > Saab Guy > > > > > >>Saab Guy wrote: >> >> >>>I hear you.

If Saab kept C900 or NG900s for that matter, or both of them and kept upgrading them then adding the 9-3SS to the fleet, everyone would be happy. >>>It would be nice to see a 2005 C900, 2005 NG900 along with the 9-3SS and 9-3 SportCombi.
