The 2nd Gen Eagle Talon Tsi AWD was one of the most bad assed looking cars in a long time, I miss Eagle but then I also miss Saab and I have a Ponitiac Vibe in the driveway next to the NG900. I'm a sucker for orphans

I'd buy that and tow behind this

I think the one at Pima could be flyable, but its currently in museum storage form

I was with it, right up to the mileage... should be a lot less, for 9K it would be NP

Same mill in the much more handsome previous gen? sure, a color other than that blue? perhaps, seats from a saab 900? wow, I sit on those every day and they are comfy. A complete car/ I think for less is would be NP, for this unfinished project? dangerously on the pipe

for what it is, it's a bit too much, a bit too large, a bit too underpowered...too many bits not enough bites , CP

Sci-Fi wasn't it? (Mantis)

pretty much, if you go to 30th St station, the taxi lane is all panthers (all with "police interceptor" badges) or Altima Hybrids and the passenger car lane usually has several UBER Chrysler 300s and Chevy Suburbans. I live around the corner in Belmont from one of the yards that converts former police cruisers into…

Fiberglass rebodied VW... not bad, Subbie brat... damn good.... the two together? definitely not great CP

Compared to italian exotics?

they had more in common with Saturns and certain Vauxhalls than Buick , but yes, the universal opinion is that GM ruined Saab

same reason I play with mid 90s Saab's, cheap, easy to work on

The common thought seems to be that the next generation of Saab's were going to be epic, but the bankruptcy forced GM (by forced, the government said loose hummer, saab and pontiac or no deal or so the rumor goes) to off them with some incredible cars in the pipeline , now the NEVS giving up, I think we're done with…

the 9000 is not as roll compatible as the better designed 900, but both passed the infamous moose test in trollhatten

NP all day long, get parts from gowesty out in LA, upgrade the motor and brakes and head off into the sunset

the NG900 Saab's share a platform and many parts with saturns

I've been working on my NG900 as this sort project, but not to flip, just to end up with a decent car, so far it's been an education in quirky swedish construction, would I do it again? perhaps, but I would definitely want to try something like your's next time

hey holmes, smell ya later

in the early 80's there was a car subculture in Philly that worshiped at the Rotary altar. Anything early Mazda was rotaried and hooned with 10000rpm launches. While this isn't an Rx3, it does fit that aesthetic. Still for this money, CP.. what's next? the Twin Stick Colt or the Sapporo?

I would take this , paint red and blue stripes with a 53 on the door and hoon the daylights out of it
