You mean the 105/120/130 Rapid models? The last one was a nice coupe with 5-speed gearbox. The earlier models (100 and 1000MB) were also rear engined, but not much fun - I drove the 100 and it accelerated like a pregnant cow and the 1000MB was a beutiful little car, but I heard that it was haunted with a host of design faults. And to not to stray too far off topic of this NG, I saw a 1991 900 with 2.0 Turbo engine from 1995. I gather it's much the same engine as in classic 900, but I don't know if putting it into the old body doesn't cause any problems. -- Regards, Wojciech Setlak Saab 900 Turbo wannabe owner :)
