"Mouth Breathing"!

Cars these days are mostly designed to bring in air through the lower air dam (which can kinda look like a mouth). Indeed, I would speculate that our Saabs do most of their breathing through the air dam, not through the tradional grill. The grill is mostly a design consideration these days, but one that can look kind of funny when deleted. For example, Infiniti's original Q45 didn't have a grill, but the next gen car did due to critisism of its apperance.
