A car, you see, is built of _parts_, by > the manufacturer. It's really very simple. Don't forget the Mitsubishi turbos. > > So, what's your goal in participating here, exactly, "Holden"? > To lament the fact that Saab no longer makes cars. It's more than shared parts. The thing *looks* like a Malibu. And there's no available hatchback; thus no stuffing sofas, bookcases, file cabinets, refrigerators, etc. in the back. Most unpractical for a descendent of a car (NG900) that epitomized practicality. The "Saabaru" is an insult to true fans of Swedish engineering. And the 9-5, in addition to bearing more than a slight resemblance to an Opel, looks nowhere near so stylish as the late-model 9k. In short, I just don't like phonies, and the new "Saab" models are, in the words of Del tha Funkee Homosapien, "FAKE AS F--K!" Dave, don't tell me you were actually such a sucker as to *buy* one of those overpriced Malibus? *hooohooohaaaaahhaaaaaawaaaahhooooooheeeheeee*
