News about new SAAB 9-2 (I hope they give it a better name). Pictures and story
from CAR magazine.
New car looks much nicer than the recent models
And looks kind of similar to the original SAAB prototype.
I hope they do this, it would wipe away the bad memories of the GM based uninspiring cars they have made since the mid 90s.
I also wish they would return to the original model idea for aero, keep the weight down and use a Lupo / Polo Bluemotion stylee 3cyl TDI that would be a cool car. What it loses on acceleration would more than be made up on long legged, low fuel consumption cruising.
The argument would be that there isn't enough profit per car in smaller cars, but the MINI isn't doing badly in that sector.
And hopefully I can remove the translation of SAAB = Prat that I have in my head whenever I'm cut up or tailgated by one with an overinflated view of its performance at the moment
