It's funny. While the pre-1994 Saab 900 certainly had a more Saab-ish look, the current 900/9-3 is no less a Saab. The current 900's toned-down Saab looks have been Saab'd up a bit with the 9-3 facelift - the new 9-5 just promises to us all that the 2001 9-3 will be every bit as unique as the old 900 was. I'm planning to go up to a turbo (from my current 2.3 litre) in 2001.
