FWIW, Saab had a similar clutchless manual in the mid-’90s 900 called Sensonic. It was a massive commercial flop.

I bought a completely original, clean, 102K-mile, white 6-spd ‘99 C2 coupe for $13K a couple of years ago and had seen plenty of others before, so I know it was a good deal. Convertibles are slightly less valuable than the coupes, but $17K for a clean 70K-mile example that isn’t silver or black, and with fixed IMS is…

Parts availability for a ‘16 Nissan? Seriously? Even SAAB parts are very easy to find, the Orio brand took over part production after SAAB’s bankruptcy to keep old cars on the road. 

Great article, very enjoyable read. Btw nice TAG :)

Best seats I’ve ever sat in were the 9000 Aero seats, bar none. No Porsche, BMW or Volvo before or after could ever quite match them.

Looks like a Macan...

What Alex really needs is this 51K mile ‘09 9-5 wagon for $11K. Fantastic cars, I own an ‘07 tuned to 300 hp on E85 and it’s just a hoot to drive!

Clearly, Romanians need their cargo space.

My theory is that many full-size SUV drivers choose these vehicles specifically because they feel safer in a crash. Therein lies the problem: they start from the premise that they WILL crash. There is no focus on accident avoidance (which is obviously better in a smaller car) and they just want to save themselves when…

This 600 hp Saab 9-5 (dynoed at 523whp) was listed for only $10,000. Seriously overpowered for FWD, but should provide endless entertainment on rolling starts.

The Daihatsu Naked. 'Nuff said.

Never thought I'd see the day when E85 is double the price of regular.

My favorite NFS was and always will be Porsche Unleashed. Amazing physics and graphics for its time! I still play it occasionally.

My car runs on E85, thus making it immune to COVID-19.

And of course the IMS paranoia

My Porsche 996 C2 coupe (manual) and Saab 9-5 Aero wagon currently in my garage cover everything I need, although they couldn’t be more opposite in every way!

As much as I lust after the RS6, I like my Sportwagons used and under $20K. And then I come to Jalopnik to vent my frustrations about carmakers not offering wagons.

Crossovers are tall hatchbacks NOT tall wagons. They should also have at least a slightly raked coupe-like roofline. Therefore, I still consider the FX to be the 1st true (modern) crossover.

Same with the Subaru Baja, no one bought them new but very popular on the used market. I actually managed to convinced my aunt to buy a clean Baja Turbo that popped up 15 minutes away when she was looking for a compact pickup last summer.
