If you rely on the opinions of the automotive press, you are a fool. I spent 25 years working for the largest automotive and special interest magazine company in the country.
I have been a Saab enthusiast for 50 years. My responsibility was not writing road tests, but I knew most of the testers and have to say that most journalist in the US start a Saab test with reservations and incredible preconceptions.
You have to understand that many auto journalists write for their peers.....and they don't want to be the first to say how great a new Saab might be.
I am not saying that I want glowing tests all the time, but some reality and impartiality would be appreciated.
I even got dragged into some of these disputes with editorial because the Saab CEO was a close personal friend.
I have 2 95 Aeros now, and have owned 14 Saabs since 1959. I want my cars to please me! And my current Aeros really please me! I am interested in a new 95, but I don't have a pressing need right now.
