they now have a worthless reputation with me for trying to pass off these video ads as some form of actual testing and review process . The funny part to me is that in the 4 reviews 2 negative comments were made . One reviewer said that the rear end appearance was somewhat disappointing in how it was honda like . Another reviewer entered and exited the rear seat and made a negative comment about the openings lack of headroom . I thought this was amusing , because it seems like they thought if they threw in a couple of token negative comments that people would find these video ads believable as real and objective tests . I certainly hope that the public is not oblivious enough to think these are actual objective tests . If the public is then we are in a very sorry state . I can't remember ever reading or watching a real automotive test that had so many positives and so few negatives . Maybe a porsche or some car with a price tag over $200000 , but even then many reviewers find characteristics they feel are not for everyone and they say so . They never ramble on , commenting positively on one aspect after another . I also liked the way the older guy had his steering wheel hand position completely wrong for real driving - a sure sign of a non technical driver who does not know how to drive correctly . This disingenuous "reviewing" is a shame on saab's fine engineering heritage which was unfortunately thrown out a couple of decades ago by a big conglomerate run by people much more of the bean counter type than the engineering type .
