I'm with you - the M Coupe is a hoot to drive - I came so close to getting one - the little hatchback even made it useful as my commuting car. Alas, I needed a back seat for children and so I sold my Audi TT for an '02 Aero (no regrets).
But for you Saab guys (me too now!) - being different is part of the enjoyment - the M coupe is unique. They are out of production now - and off-lease cars are availabe for very short money - even the M variants.
My father-in law has a Superformance Cobra (351 Windsor side oiler 400hp, Tremec 5-speed, Wilwood brakes) that is an absolute stone gas to drive - but about as impractical as they come. The M Coupe was a similar brutish, snap-oversteer kind of beast that is just civilized enough to drive on weekdays - you haven't lived until you have snap-shifted the M Coupe flawlessly through the gears with no clutch - the car is like a jewel.
Sorry for going on - I stop and take my medicine now...
