    Can confirm that SAAB cars are great! Mine is coming up on 19 years old, and apart from some superficial issues still works as well as when it rolled out of the shop. SAAB was also very innovative with their cars, taking a lot of inspiration from their jets, which is clearly seen in their design.

      Ah, that explains why I saw a Saab launching Sidewinders on the highway

      Didn’t they also over-engineer their cars, with things like putting limited-slip differentials on ‘normal’ cars? Thought that was one of the reasons they went under.

        They didn’t go under, just stopped making cars for consumers.
