I happen to adore both my Saabs, a c900TC and a "last of the breed" 9000. Other than the same "Saab feeling" I get while sitting in either car, they share nothing else. However, the 9000 is a true luxo-sports vehicle. Saab decided to use up its stockpile of Aero bits in the last model year of the 9000 (except for the seats and body trim), so although it's branded as a CSE, it's really an Aero under the skin. There's no greater enjoyment than feeling your body pinned into the seat as you press on the gas pedal, and the look of astonishment in the other peoples eyes as you look at them in your rear-view mirror. Then again, I get the same feeling as I cruise around with the top down in my 'vert, wife to the side of me and my 2 little boys with shades on in the back seat.
I also was never a 9000 fan, until the day I drove one as a "courtesy car" while my NG900 was having warranty work done at the dealer (back in '97). By the time I drove to work (a 100-mile trip), I was a firm believer in the fact that the Swedes had an awesome idea in having created this car. Blazing acceleration, incredible handling, luxurious European ride and comforts, and able to swallow even more stuff than my '88 900 3-dr ever could.
Drive one of them yourself one day, and I'm sure you'll understand what I'm talking about! :))))))
