Viggen stops St. Louis Auto Show... well, OK, that's a stretch.

In case anyone's interested...
I just got back from the St. Louis Auto Show, and as expected, Saab had its
finest on hand for everyone to poke and prod at, and curiously they were one of
the only makes to leave the batteries connected. This turned out to be a good
idea, I think. There was a silver Viggen, looking its best with its large,
low-profile, aggressive-looking wheels that was attracting quite a bit of
attention. One thing I've noticed after living in St. Louis for the past 4
months (having moved from Portland, Maine) is that Saabs seem to be nearly
unheard of here, but after seeing the somewhat surprised reactions on people's
faces as they looked over the Viggen, I could believe that this might change
for the better soon. And if it wasn't attracting enough attention already, my
girlfriend got in and with doors and windows shut, cranked up the radio with
something nice and basey. The pulsing base really turned heads. Within a
minute there was a serious crowd around it! Fun to watch.
There was an Aero there too, but it just looked so conservative in
comparison to the Viggen that few people noticed.

P.S. The seats in the Viggen are great! Still, I think they should have even
more aggressive side bolstering.
