Why don't Saabs get any respect?

Why do so many self-professed car enthusiasts refuse to give Saab its props? I was talking to a BMW enthusiast the other day, who refuses to believe that my Viggen will outclass his BMW 330i. No reasoning could convince him. Not the Viggen's higher horsepower (230 vs. 225) nor more importantly, its significantly greater engine torque (258ft-lbs vs. 210 ft-lbs.). He even dared to call my car a Saab "Vegeterian" and predictably, claimed to have driven the Viggen and found it slow relative to the 330. (Even more amazingly, this idiot drives an automatic). I guess this debate will have to be settled on the racetrack. As a former BMW driver, it is easy for me to concede the virtues of the German cars. Why do the BMW people need to dump on Saabs to feel better? I guess because I paid $10k less for the Viggen than this gentleman paid for his 330.
