I think the real question here is how many of these are still running and not in a junkyard? They always showed neat cars like this on the old Motorweek episodes from back in the 80’s and I have yet to see any of them in real life.

I disagree. Having opinions of cars you’ve never driven is a very large part of what being a car enthusiast entails. Think about how many car enthusiasts are out there that think very highly of cars that are unattainable for them to drive or purchase due to various circumstances. Does that make it wrong for them to…

OK, that would be hilarious, and I’ve had that thought before myself.

I got lucky this time. I like where your head is at though.

Prius. I would trade it in immediately to put towards a car I actually wanted.

I remember the interiors on them being extremely nice for the time.

Do you mean an office job or a Saab 9-5?

Subaru has probably mopped up more ex Saab and Volvo drivers than any other brand has. Everything you said makes sense. Saab, Subaru, and Volvo all attract a fairly similar type of customer.

Neutral: Why Is Subaru Such A Hit?

I actually like the Navigator. I feel like it is classy in a very restrained and understated way. The Escalade on the other hand is bold, brash, and in your face. To me, that’s less appealing. I like to slide under radar and hate being the center of attention. So does the Navigator.

Well said.

I’m fully convinced the rule is still in place so people can put their university’s plate or favorite sports team on the front of their car and then proceed to give other drivers dirty looks and/or gestures when they have a rival school’s or sports team’s plate on their car.

Somewhere where everyone else isn’t.

True, for developing countries that is quite normal. I didn’t see any mention in this post of whether or not they are ever planning on selling their cars in the U.S. market, however.

Do you know if that car sells well in China though?

I would be all for that as well, but I don’t know if there’s much of a business case for that. I think I’ll just have to buy an old one.

I am extremely jealous that you managed to find a Turbo X

I agree, Saab would have actually been dead in the 90’s without GM, but towards the end GM did not do what they needed to do to keep Saab afloat. That was certainly GM’s decision though and they had every right to do that.

This seems like a bad idea. I know they don’t have the money, but they should at least come up with an all new car, not a refreshed 9-3 that is easily a 15 year old design at this point. Not updating their lineup with new models is exactly how GM ran Saab into the ground the late 2000’s. By the time Spyker managed the…
