Your comment had me wondering...am I faithful to the Saab name per
se, or to their way of engineering? More the latter I'm sure- so a
Saab that no longer follows its own traditional core values would
not be Saab to me. My impression of late is Saab seems more inter-
ested in winning the Battle of the Art Galleries, and becoming the
architectural props of choice. Myself, I love Saabs for their max-
imum utility quotient, I could care less really about hipness and
"chic". What would stir me emotionally is a Saab with killer chas-
sis dynamics but I fear we'll not be getting that by striking fas-
hionable poses in trendy locations. I'm of the Old School, and tr-
uly believe refinements come from racetrack success and failure. I
fear I am of a dying breed...the Original Faithful.
