"Excellence Without Arrogance"...

That's the slogan the local jazz radio station uses for Saab advertising here in Southern Ontario. It also perfectly defines one reason I bought my '97CSE. I wanted a fine car that didn't shout, "Look at me! I drive a Beemer, or Mercedes, or whatever." Sure I could have afforded to buy a BMW, but I don't like drawing too much attention. I wonder if this rationale applied to anyone else's decision to own a Saab here. Mind you, I do get alot of looks and comments about the CSE (probably because it's black and I keep it meticulously clean). However, I think most people look at the car and say, "Nice looking car...I wonder what it is." They look it over and then search for the badge. That's what I like about the CSE. It looks like a high-end, fine Euro car, but most people don't seem to know what it is (until I leave them in my dust). Anyway, just rambling, thought I'd share.
