I'm nervously awaiting delivery of a 9-5 Aero, and have never had a Saab before, so I'm not yet even an honorary Saaber. However, many years ago I was in an odd little shop in SW London run by a rather bitter man who after some perfectly reasonable chat startled me by coming over all hostile.
His main line of attack was the bizarre and wonderful statement "You're the sort of person who drives a Saab, aren't you!"
I've always assumed that he had identified some sort of middle-brow element in my make-up; that I was the sort of person who wanted a good car, but didn't want the accusations of glam that accompany a BMW, or suggestions of plutocracy that come with a Merc.
I'd love to know what the the perception of Saabists is in other countries. Any good stories?
