Have had: 1979 900GLi, 1984 900, 1985 900, 1986 900, 1996 900SE.
This current one will be my last. Too much GM contamination and no hatchback.
Even though Saab and Volvo (except C30 or the estates) don't have hatchs, they also aren't tainted by GM. Hey, that's my opinion for good reasons, mostly experience with GM.
One thing that could be fantastic is if GM backs off, and lets Saab go-to-town "underground" with a tuner along the lines of how Dinan is to BMW or AMG is to Mercedes.
I envision a tuner taking a new Saab and making it better in performance and keeping reliability. Make it AWD and at least 400 hp. Guys out of Sweden are doing fantastic things with turbos not just with Saab. Make it a Vette beater to annoy the blue collar types.
That would put Saab back on the map. I can hire out my consulting abilities to GM for $250,000 per year with one month off. :-)
