Re: what does 'NG' mean ? Posted by Scott Paterson [Email] (#13) [Profile/Gallery] (more from Scott Paterson) on Mon, 16 Jun 2003 10:43:37 In Reply to: what does 'NG' mean ?, james, Sat, 14 Jun 2003 10:09:21 Members do not see ads below this line. - Help Keep This Site Online - Signup |
I deleted a number of posts that explained that NG900 refers to No Good 900. I don't share those views and that's not what it means on TSN. I even received an email from one NG900 owner that told me a I was doing the Saab community a disservice by saying there was a difference (which somehow implies it is better, he explained) between the NG900 and 9-3.
Having run TSN for 15 years, I can tell the difference between an 86 900 and an 88 900. I can also tell the difference between the 96 NG900 and 98 NG900. I find it easier to tell the difference between an NG900 and a 9-3, but I read every single year's official Saab press kits and I know what I'm looking at. Has anyone else noticed how much the new VW Beetle's taillights resemble the Classic 900 X configuration at night?. I may be the only one. But that X taillight config was very unique to a number of C900 years, like bumper trim, mirror trim, badging etc. None of that is neither positive nor negative. I deleted my own commens from this thread because the responses to my posts were not complimentary to NG900 owners, I don't think.
From a web site stats standpoint, the NG900 BB is the least read BB of the modern models (Classic 900 and later). Of the classifieds, only the Sonett classifieds are read less often than the NG900 classifieds. I don't know what it is about the NG900, but people avoid those years for some reason and, I guess, I too made the jump from 1992 Classic 900 directly to 1999 9-3.
