If I were face to face with the person responsible for the choice of torx fasteners on Saab 9000s, I might want to punch him. The amount of time and hassle torx fasteners have cost me over the years between 2 9000's is pretty substantial, even with one of the cars having lived it's entire life in southern California (zero rust). I stripped one and broke a Craftsman torx bit on another just this past weekend.
There are other things I dislike about 9000s, but most are balanced by thing I like, including this great message board. But this one is not, and it comes up repeatedly.
