Great question!
First off, I disagree with the assumption: it's not that people dislike Saabs. I think they don't understand what a Saab is all about. Lets face it, Saab has a long history of producing some odd looking vehicles. They've only mainstreamed the outside look in the past 10 years. But while Saab has been forced to mainstream the look by GM (a good thing in my opinion), they have failed to advertise the essence of what a Saab is effectively.
As for me, I don't get strange looks from people when I tell them I drive a Saab. I do get curiousity and at times jealously. I have had people ride in my Saab who have never experienced one and came away in awe of the interior and blown away by it's speed. I think reaction might be based on what part of the country you're in. Here in the northwest, I think Saab enjoys an above average reputation.
