Hmm. taillights dont do much for me in those pics. btw, when did GM adopt saab? i didnt know that was the case till i was a dealership the other week and noticed on their power train warranty desk deal that saab was on the list of vehicles.

1990 GM purchased 50% of SAAB, then in 2000 they bought out the remaining shares.

I owned a 2000 saab 9-5 SE for a year before my audi, wasnt my favorite car....

9-3's with a manual gear box arent bad, that Aero X is near 300HP and AWD which sounds pretty good to me also, and the 92x was just a rebadged subaru WRX wagon
