OT: Barron's article: SAAB by a TKO

So I picked up the financial newspaper Barron's to see if I am still fully invested in loose change after this week's market girations. In addition to an excellent article on Porche's attempt to take over VW, there is a short article by Jim McTague regarding his recent accident in a 2009 SAAB 9-3 Turbo X, where some idiot in a 99 Kia sped down an onramp on Rt 84 in Connecticut, ramming the 55 mph speed SAAB in the rear.
Writer describes maintaining control and suffering little damage ($1,500 bumper), while the KIA slid and skidded past, front end crushed, leaking antifreeze and had to be towed away. Scary that the Kia's airbags didn't even deploy. Predicable results, but the 9-3 received comments on its seats, handling and looks. Writer said he's sold on SAAB. Nice to see that when you are not looking for it.
