I recall Albert Brooks driving a 900 turbo at the beginning of a movie ("Lost in America," I believe, in the mid 1980s?) in which he and his wife decide to sell everything and use their nest egg to tour America. The wife gambles away the nest egg in Las Vegas. Getting back to the car, the first few moments feature Brooks bargaining over the phone with a Mercedes salesman, as he believes he's about to get a promotion and wants to reward himself with a Mercedes. I remember thinking: Why would you give up the Saab Turbo? Michael
