Milt, Buddy, Ford has nothing to do with Saab. Non-the-less, an equally evil force has come to the helm of the Saab wheel. General Motors. (lions and tigers and bears...). But your freind was right in another aspect. The new Saab 900 from 1994 is built on an Opel platform. Remember them from the early '70's? In the same move they moved their North American headquarters from Orange CT. to Georgia. It's still an O.K. car, but not the stuff of legend as were the pre '94's.
