I get a headache thinking about the effect GM has on GM, and on the American car industry, and what they *could* have done to Saab. However, their influence seems to be mostly benign. They've let Saab be Saab for the most part, lowered prices to a degree, increased advertising, and basically put some of the GM "deep pockets" behind Saab. The 9-3 and 9-5 are all Saab in terms of the way they drive. Oh yeah - and under GM, Saab sales have gone *up*. That's not too bad, either. > i think that saab will never be the same again! From what I've read, the newer Saabs are more reliable than the beloved 900's. If that's the case, then being different might not be so bad. -- {}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{} \|/ {} RogerW rogerwnopsamguy.com {} 0< -- parrot.net! {} http://www.parrot.net adminnopsamot.net {} ^^^^(*)^^^^ {}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{}{} ^^ / \ ^^
