My first car was a Saab. Although it was great aesthetically, the engien was shite. It was a complete lemon. We spent a lot of weekends fixing it. Fuck Saabs.

I was thinking about even selling mine next year.

I have always liked saab cars, I got to drive an old saab 9000 turbo last year and the thing was built like a bloody tank.

You just wait. Swedish government will buy them, the move is calculated for that.

It's a shame, I've really enjoyed the three saabs I've had over the years. Definite drop in saabiness after 2002 or so. Our '92 900 is probably my favourite car I've ever owned.
Trying to go mass-market over the boutique approach that they had previously is likely a factor in their demise.

Spyker + Saab = Spaab?

this news either made my '99 Viggen more of a collectors item or a worthless obsolete hunk of metal, leather and plastic.
- Same here man. But It's still a blast to drive with the top down in the summer.pylon
- I have an appt. to get it chipped, bigger intercooler & 3" exhaust making it 300hp.fooler2
- after that I might just park it and drive my truck everyday.fooler2
- Haha, mine's a daily-driver. Love it to death. Engine is stock but suspension improved.pylon

I heard Spyker made a new offer.
Yet I wonder if this is a good thing considering the still weak situation of Spyker.
