Sounds like I'm piling on, but.... I don't seek it out like I did in the old days of yore. Remember the little 6X10inch size it used to come in? It only had (interesting) SAAB-specific brief updates and articles on everything within the greater SAAB company - aviation, defence, space technology, marine engines, and of course what's new in the auto division: the demo team, the Talledega tests, runway testing, etc. I really enjoyed it.

Today, yeah the pictures are nice, the non-saab articles are sometimes interesting, but it's nothing special. Can see same stuff on Discovery Channel :o) But being the "little engineering powerhouse that could", now THAT was special!
