...anymore (except for a few things like the ignition switch location). And a few years ago Saabs had a rep for poor reliability and horrible depreciation. The 95 is slowly changing that perception however. Still, Saab doesn't have the same marketing clout that the other luxury marques have, so it will take a while to sink in. So enjoy your exclusivity while you have it.
When I bought my Passat 3 years ago, it was also a pretty exclusive car (in the sense of not many on the road, as opposed to expensive). Once Consumer Reports ranked it #1 family car, next thing you know they are all over the place, driven by folks who don't care a lick about it's euro driving experience. In a way, I hope the 95 doesn't get that ubiquitous - it will lose that sense of individuality I have driving it now (when my wife lets me).
