The Classic 900 may have a lot of character, but the 9000 was the next logical step. The 9000 CS/CSE finally got rid of the 'hybrid' look of two cars welded together, it has a nicely integrated Giorgetto Giugiaro design. Saab went their own way in on the Type 4 project, and the car is much more substantial than the Italian derivatives. It takes the best Italian design features combined with Swedish engineering. A true Saab classic IMO.
