Took a heavily pregnant wife to the LA Auto Show in January 2001.
I was driving a Ford Contour SE (V-6 with a 5-spd) that my wife hated on general principal because it was a Ford.
Nothing she saw at the auto show caught her eye until we went to the SAAB area and the rep opened up the trunk on a 9-3.
Her eyes got wide and she had visions of the enormous amount of baby stuff that cavernous trunk could handle.
She said, "I want this car' and that was that.
I just had to find one with a manual at the best possible price and, thanks to SAAB of Santa Monica and the GM supplier discount, we had a new '01 9-3SE sitting in the driveway soon thereafter.
Brought our firstborn home from the hospital in that SAAB not long after that and kept it for 176K miles.
