When I bought my first Saab in 1976, it had a lot of fundamental things many cars did not have. 15 inch wheels, 4 wheel disc brakes, chain driven over head cam, well shaped and tuned intake and exhaust manifolds, responsive handling, a suspension that would handle nasty roads at speed, etc.
Today most cars have these features, which makes it harder to distinguish one from another. Even turbo’s may become more common in the future.
Still don't see a modern day equivalent to the 9000. Large interior with modest exterior dimensions, very good seats, hatchback, turbo, windows that aren't slits, towing capacity, and believe it or not a responsive automatic with an almost direct drive 3rd gear that’s real good for passing.
