I'm having a TransAm for my funeral car - you can get the coffin sideways on the boot and handbrake my corpse into the ground! That, and a hired troup of wailing Arabian women and Joy Division's 'Atmosphere' as the background music :) Perfect funeral. So, is there a "wailing Arabian women-R-US" anywhere? I need to get my executor in check. If SAAB did not exist, I'd own an Audi Quattro Coupe (80s model) or a VW Scirocco GT2 (which my wife was driving when I met her ... What a babe), or of course a Porsche 944. I see where you're coming from with the Scooby though ... Not as vicious torque curve as the C900 though. You'd probably find it a little tame. Have you seen a SAAB 9-2 yet? Scooby Impreza engine with SAAB styling ... It's has, erm, mixed reviews. Paul
