is due to the fact that there have been many people who bought SAABs and did not maintain them as they need to be maintained, and consequently suffered reliability issues. SAABs are probably more sensitive to receiving the correct maintenance & TLC than most other makes, and if they don't get it, they go wrong. Very, very expensively wrong. Then the neglectful owners start whining that they're junk. The other issue is most people have no concept of the effect of turbocharging, and think all 4-cylinders are slow. The 4 cylinder Mustang was not as fast as the V8, therefore our SAABs are slow too. A GrandAm V6 must be faster than a Viggen, cos the GrandAm has two more cylinders.
