I don't think Saabs have ever been CHEAP in U.S

Hi,
Don't you remember Yen suddenly gaining strength and Japanese automakers
being restricted from selling number of cars in U.S. and therefore being
able to name their own price for new cars due to high demand and
restricted supply? Then, U.S. car makers in late 80s and early 90s
decided to match the price hike by Japanese instead of trying to regain
market share? These circumstances managed to very nearly double car
prices in the late 80s and early 90s.
So, pointing out new Saab price of $14,000 in 1984 (before many on this
BB were born) ignores upheavals in the market place between then and now.
New Saabs have never been CHEAP in the U.S.
thanks
Jae
