that they neglect real world uses of the car otherwise. For example, the Viper has mastered the trade of accleration, but damn if it'd be pratical to get groceries or take you kid to daycare. The 3-series BMW has mastered the art of chassis dynamics and handling, but it doesn't make a great people hauler and it's not very utilitarian (SP). Point is, SAAB makes a great attempt at all of these, while it doesn't master any of the major trades (handling, accleration, utility) it is an awesome balance of the three. Too bad, car magazines don't rate cars on real-world situations instead of a 3day back road sprint.
