Hey all,
I just checked out the Saab display at the Motor Expo in the Canary Wharf area of London...great location just outside the underground stop where everyone gets off the Tube. I'm over here for work, so my timing was great.
All cars were black...expect for a "Cerulean" edition 9-3 convertible (same color combos and wheels as 20th anniv. edition in the US) with the 1.8t engine. Also on display, a 6 speed manual black 9-3 SC 1.9 TiD (I really wish we could get this engine!) and a 9-3 Aero sedan (V6 model, not 2.0T which is also offered here). There was also a 9-5 Biopower sedan too.
The Sportcombi was getting the most attention, interestingly enough. The V6 drinks way too much fuel for UK drivers I think...at almost a 1 pound sterling a LITER now (so, that translates into $7.44 a gallon...ouch).
Though I must say my two highlights were taking the "Land Rover Experience" drive in a Discovery 3 (LR3 stateside) over a man made off road course...what an amazing SUV!. And the other highlight was sitting in an Aston DB9 Volante and talking to the sales guy about it. What an absolutely unbelieveable car....some day...he asked me what I drove and I proudly mentioned my Aero convertible...and the sales guy was very complimentary!! "Excellent choice...nice, unique, and a great handler!" he said...
Just thought I'd share...
Cheers,
Paul H.
