I agree with some of you that SAAB takes a relitively long time to modify their designs. THe 9.3 looks like a 900 from many years ago. Having said that, I am appreciating more and more the go slow approach of SAAB. Mercedes used to be this way, although with many more models. But now, they are cranking out new stuff all of the time. ANd to me, many of their latest products have watered down their brand image. Look at the new C Class hatchback. Does that look like a real Mercedes to you? And even the standard setting S Class has an interior better suited for a Lexus than a Benz (Buick-like speedo, Lexus-like seats). Is it just me or does anyone else miss the days when Mercedes stood for something other than the latest trends. Even Porsche has chrome and other stuff going on all over its interior and they are building an SUV. Let's hope SAAB always improves but also maintains its unique traditional image. Josh
