The Saab 9000. Specifically the 2nd generation from 1993-1998. With a turbo they are great, but the turbo isn't the most reliable. Without the turbo they are slow. The electrics are crap. The rear is cramped. They're known for brake failure, dead creature comfort controls (from power seats failing or A/C going…
I loved the Crossfire, and I believe it is a vehicle that seriously needs a 2nd generation (perhaps from the new Lancia stratos since Lancias are now just rebadged Chryslers in Europe).
Someone on my way to work in the morning has a white one with the paint so eroded and worn though you mostly see silver.
Isn't that related to (my post) the Saab 9000?
As I stated to another poster, I still want one.
Chrysler Laser, Dodge Daytona, Mitsu Starion, or Chrysler Conquest?
I still want one with the V-12. Did they offer a diesel?
In the sense that it might be dead or is there something I haven't read yet?
My thinking was that it was large enough to do anything I would EVER need it to do, and Mitsu has the 3rd best warranty in the business following Kia/Hyundai & Suzuki.
I consider anything under 10k in annual sales a boutique brand. Saab began their deathwatch in terms of sales in 2008 and I don't believe it has recovered yet.
Since when was the Dakota offered with a 4-cylinder diesel? Who'd buy a Dakota with a 4-cylinder? It wouldn't be able to move. They put it on the Ram's platform with the last redesign and is HARDLY a small truck—it's just not AS BIG as current F-150s, Rams, Silverados. They are the same size as Silverados from the…
1st Gear: I'm sad to see the RX-8 being killed, but as a potential buyer who loved the look and its engine—its poor fuel economy, cheap interior plastics, sticky leather, and limited paint options sent me running. However, since Mazda never improved on these qualms during its lifetime—it gets what it deserves. As a…
Most of Kia's funding came from the Hyundai buyout in 2001—not it's success selling small cars. They were a threat to Hyundai, and between 1999-2003 it was Daewoo who was considered the most reliable of the Korean automakers. Kia was big, but Hyundai was MUCH bigger.
The Sonata & Optima are the same damn car. The Optima has a fake muscular angled appearance; whereas the Sonata is the curvy one.
