Who are you calling old I'm 34 years and I like a car that a is safe b lets you drive long distance without breaking your back C sticks out in a car park and d is easy to maintain. I'm very sorry but if I ever should run out of 99's or 900's I would leave my beloved Saab. Your statement is absolutely correct; Saab delivers what the market wants. In the old days it was the other way around the build a good car and astonished the car world. The 99 was a sensation in 1967 whem marketed and the 99 Turbo set standards in the car world that weren't achieved by other manufacturers for years. If your happy in one of the new models so be it. But Saab is losing his identity and his real fans really fast. The old ones get in your blood, the new owners usually only brag about the price the paid, not knowing anything about Saab or their cars.
