And all the better for it. Whenever I drive next to a well-maintained early 90's 900 (especially the coupe, because at this point in time it does not look like the convertible contingent has aged well as a whole) I find myself nostalgically wishing I'd gotten one and taken very good care of it back in the day. Oh well, decisions we have to live with. It was an awesome design. I wish they had the balls to revive more elements of it. If horrid stuff like the new Mustang is doing so well, I think a sizeable number of discerning people would come out of the woddworks to get a classic looking Saab (with the longevity engineering to back up the looks!). ....pablo
