They'll need all the parts for the Saab copies they'll be building... no wait, that's BAIC. All looks the same to me.
LOBO! Bring back Sheriff Lobo!
1974 BMW 2002tii about 14 years ago... granted, it was a year before I could drive but despite the decidedly Swedish leanings I had, I was in love.
The Premier's undercarriage ended up becoming part of the basis for the wildly successful Chrysler LH cars. The Premier, however, was a fine handling, comfortable and underrated car .
A pair of Subarus every two years (because they'd rot) from 1980-1984, the '85 Voyager with a Mitsu 2.6L carb'd 4-banger and 3 speed auto, an '88 Eagle Premier, a '92 Dodge Dynasty LE, a 1995 Eagle Vision and Chrysler LHS. Then I started driving and it was Saab from there on out.

1967 Saab 99... spacious enough for three ladies!

Twenty-four 1985 models were used as pilot cars for the B202i 16-valve motor that was released for M86 — they were all black, 2-door sedans. The rest of the 2-door cars were all S models, with a B201i motor for '85 and B202i (16V) for…
How about an old Suzuki GT750 water buffalo motor? Torquey 3-cylinder 2-cycle! Better yet, Saab 2-cycle 3-cylinder from a late 60s 96.
@CRXPilot; In fast, out backwards: aught-ten.
"My Ferrari! I had to do awful things to pay for her!"
Argh argh argh argh.
Turbocharged GM hatchback? It's been done.
I can confirm that the Eagle Premier did exist... as early as October of 1988 when my dad bought one about $8k off MSRP from the local Jeep/Eagle dealer. It was comfortable, Italian styled and unreliable as the day was long. The gauge cluster failed the first day we had it, said we had a full tank of gas and petered…
