... the big one for me was how the GM Saab offerings are criticized as being dull + then singles out the Sonata as a non-boring exception to Camry et al. The (previous generation) Sonata is substantially a rip off of the outgoing 9-5 aesthtics... sure, I like the c900 better, but the other GM era Saabs are still nice cars + still drive pretty nicely + are more "saaby" than the competition...
I agree, round headlights would be totally ridiculous on a 900... making a modern classic means interpreting existing traditions... not copying totally irrelevant stuff from other manufacturers... that's what the Koreans + Chinese manufacturers do... oh wait... he liked the Sonata... never mind...
I think the new 9-3 is going to be interesting... instead of a throwback, I think we're going to get a c900 from the future... that is what Saab is about... imho, in the 90's, the SPG looked out of place, not because it looked old or dated... the opposite: it still looked like something from the future! same for the back end of the late model 9000...
