You’re thinking of the 9-2X.

Real Saab.

That second set of dials inboard of the heated seat controls, semi-hiding behind the shifter? That means that this does have the ventilated seats.

NP, by the way. This is a car I would (following a full service/maintenance update, of course) put my teenage driver daughter in.

My one memory of the Tempo was that a middle/high school friend’s mom had one- I’m not sure if it was the four cylinder or the V6; either way, it WAS a five speed manual. I remember this because my friend’s mom granny shifted the absolute shit out of that car. I don’t think it ever revved past 2,000 rpm once in its…

Quad Cities?

You’re going to have to show your work on this one, I’m afraid.

If there was any doubt, it’s gone now.

Yeah, but on the flip side, otherwise nice cars are EASILY let down by an interior beneath that car’s station. Case in point (of COURSE it’s a GM): The Cadillac ATS (my images are getting kinja’d, but everyone here can use Google and see my point.)

Hell, the Mark VII, too.

I voted CP only because Chrysler reliability, but it’s amazing what a 300C front clip does to improve the looks.

So say we all.

Judging by how often I actually see it out of the garage...yeah. He probably does.

I’m going NP on this one, but only because my neighbor’s got a dark-blue-over-tan example that looks like it rolled off the showroom floor last week; it still has presence and exudes class in a way that current Benz models just can’t quite pull off.

Benzes and BMWs of this vintage have firmly ensconced themselves into DIY-and-internet-parts-store territory.

Yeah, but some would consider Westchester County upstate, not places like Albany or Rochester.

We own a Flex and absolutely love it. I’ve ridden in an MKT and the interior was awesome. A Flex with an MKT interior would be perfection.

To be fair, Saab went outmarket...

Subaru is the new Saab/Volvo of New England.

Sequoia, too?

Dammit. Early morning brain fade.

Volvo 240.
