You've got serious issues. It's 3:15 am there, and you're still posting car-news. :Q

Dude, I was up with my GF until 5 AM Saturday morning. I woke up at 10AM, ate breakfast, had lunch, napped from ~ 7PM - 11PM and I'm getting ready to go to bed now. So this is just a normal whacked out morning posting for me

You are up reading them

On a topic-related note: I like the style, but it seems to be following saab's history of underpowered cars.

Just got home from a day at the water park with my fiance.... Had too much caffeine and can't sleep.

I've never cared for their body styling.

It looks pretty nice, not sure that I'm going to throw down 40 grand for it though

It's a turbocharged 4. They don't feel anything like a Civic or Corolla.

Saab makes some of the best 4's on the market.

looks realy good, except for the part with the rear wheels, looks like it got realy realy tiny wheels in the back

The problem I have with SAABs is it is a $40,000 car with a four cylinder engine. I would not accept anything less than a six
Does it have a solid rear axle too?

 

[geno]

yeah, on paper, paying so much for a FWD 4 cyl seems a little silly

I like Saabs. I got a chance to drive an older 900 convertible for a week and I liked it a lot. I thought the torque steer and turbo lag were both minimal, and it was fun to drive, especially with the top down.

They are definitely overpriced, but you can usually get 0% financing since they're owned by GM. Or, you can pick one up used for a song... they depreciate very quickly.
