Seriously, what do they knock the cars for? Granted, they may not be as trouble free as some other cars, but they also wipe the floor with an even greater number of cars, in certain areas. In my case, and I imagine that of a large number of people here, safety, utility, and performance are more important than dead-nuts reliability.
It's STILL hard to find a car that will carry as much as a c900/9000, and isn't a station wagon, and even some of those don't measure up. At least the wagons look better these days, though, compared to the early 70's American beasts. :)
The fact that used Saabs sell for such a huge discount compared to an equivalently equipped/size/performing car from another make seems to make them a much better used value, IMHO.
