They still make Saabs? I thought they quit making cars like 10 years ago
I dunno, my 2001 9-5 2.3T is still a pretty nice sedan at 145K and it'll still get up and be gone quick
GM did them in, but the engineering on the chassis was sound. The E versions share the last 9-3 chassis and seem to be nice electric rides
But I'm always on the look-out for a decent used 2-stroke (DKW would do too). I'd just love to drive Cali freeways with blue smoke trailing me and nothing they can do about it

I like when GM took the Subaru WRX and put a Saab 92X logo on it.
It was a good Saab.

I bought a 2003 9-5 Aero new, sold it 2 years ago with 206k miles. It was an awesome car. There wasn't really anything weird about it, just token stuff like the ignition being in the center console. The rest of what people thought was weird was really just thoughtful engineering and design, and things that Saab was way ahead of the game with. A sports sedan with a turbo 4 cylinder instead of a V6?

GM should've kept SAAB and gotten rid of Buick.
I didn't even know Saab was still a thing...It was referenced on Seinfeld once I think I remember. It never seemed to catch on to the mainstream buyer. To see one on the road today is more rare than a Lada.
Buicks are a healthy predictable stable of reliability and comfort many buy over and over. Why would GM choose a steady lucrative income from that marketplace over Saab?
