All of this lamenting of the SAABs of yore sounds very similar to the caterwailing that is going on in alt.autos.bmw newsgroup over the new 5, 6 and 7 series models. The funny thing is that I agree with both camps. The newer 9-3's and 9-5's are no match for the Classic SAABs C900's or even 9000's any more than the new BMW's are for their past models. It appears the trend is to continue to morph and dumb down all of the european car marquees until they are indistinguishable from the "world cars" being spewed out by the American and Asian car companies. I guess I will just have to keep my old cars forever. Well, actually just until *I* die. Hope in 10 years the parts places stay well stocked on 20 year old car parts... Maybe I should just buy 2 or three of every part now? ;-) -Fred W
