My Lightneing Blue Viggen coupe was constantly looked at when at intersections and people always remarked - Cool Car, or What is that? (In Dallas Saabs are rare, let alone a Viggen) My fellow employees all liked the car but used to give me crap about the "loud" color. I think they were just jealous;)
My 02 9-5 aero doesn't seem to stand out as much, but when I drive people around for business (to dinner, airport, ect.) they always ask about it -- specifically whats under the hood. They are usually surprised by how quick it feels even when I am not driving it hard. Most people have never been that close-up to a Saab. They are always impressed by it.
In many ways I miss the distinct Viggen. It was fun turning heads. The sedan styled aero just doesn't have the same impact. The good news is that they are equally fun to drive, which is all that matters.
