Yesterday I took advantage of my local Saab dealer's open house and took a test drive in a 2011 9-4 4 cylinder automatic. Overall a very nice car and the technology is amazing compared to our 9000s and 2004 9-5. One thing that struck me as being kind of strange was that the car does not come with a spare tire. Instead a can of tire sealant and an electric air pump comes with the car. And oh yes, no jack either (well, why would you need a jack if you don't have a spare tire?). The car has a circular tire well below the trunk floor, so I would wind up keeping one of the snow tires there to use as a spare, and also throw in a Harbor Freight electric power jack ($69) which I already have on of and it works great.
So, given the lack of the spare tire, is Saab's new mantra "less is more?"
