I read that article, funny I've just been reflecting on the topic this week - I drove with a friend 500 miles in his new sporty Focus, and then got a ride in a new (post-94) 900... pretty unimpressed with both... the Focus was quick and grippy, but in changing weather was pretty unstable and uncommunicative. I didn't drive the new 900, but was sore about the plasticy feel and and flat windshield.
Much more comfortable in my 85 turbo, especially in the snow this week. For a 4-banger it's really got some guts (doesn't sound like a blender) and doesn't have a dash light to tell me when to shift. Turns out I just don't like new cars, I think most are ugly globs anyway. At this rate this 900 will probably get me another 200K miles, but if I really need a new one, I'll try to find a '78 99T. Then I don't even need to go to emissions either...
