I look forward to testing one of these out soon. Biggest problem that I see is that the car is too long and too heavy. I assume that there is nothing that can be done for now about the length but maybe Muller and his people can put the car on a diet to make it more Saab-like (4 cylinder motor, manual transmission, front wheel drive, no navigation system, manual seats, manual windows...). All the whining about lack of refinement and use of GM bits is just so much noise in my opinion. All cars are assembled from bits of this and bits of that. It is the whole package that matters.
