Actually, the C900 is a COMPLETELY different car. It has a longitudinal mounted engine and double wishbone front suspension which is bump steer corrected from the factory. They handle very nicely! The NG900/9^3 has a transverse front engine with mcpherson struts. The NG900/9^3 was '94-'97/'98-'02. The C900 was '79-'93 and was a development of the Saab 99 which was '68?-'80. All very nimble cars. an '89 C900T 4dr is a rarity in the US. The 16V turbo 4dr was only sold in '85 and '89 and is a very nice car. With this newsgroup, saabnet.com and townsendimports.com you will be able to keep it on the road and driving great for many years. I have had an '84 4dr, '89 3 dr base, and 2 1992 900Ts. I still have the '92s! KeithG Mike wrote: > On Fri, 06 Sep 2002 21:12:17 -0400, Four Weis <mweinopsamcom> wrote: > > >>It's a terrible car, they are nothing but trouble!
