Here's the hidden interesting feature:

They don't get it. Some aren't into the whole intellectual design thing- they just want it flashy. The EV1 takes some percolation to appreciate.
The car's new home is in the Argonaut building (I refuse to call it their new name, the A. Alfred Taubman Center for Design Education).

Anyway, Stillwater's nice too but it doesn't have the urbex.

Too bad it's a Photoshop. Saab actually made a GT750 based on the 93, but it definitely did not have that bodywork. The "Sonett" engine they refer to must be that used in the extremely rare (5 built) 94, aka Sonett I.
Regardless, and actual GT750. (Or so says Flickr- they're hard to tell apart from 93's)

That Saab is so cool.
