August 10, 200718 yr Hmm... 300+ hp, XWD? Saab will go 'back to the future' That certainly seems to be The Way Forward.
August 10, 200718 yr Hmm... 300+ hp, XWD? I'm hoping for at least that much. Even though the Haldex system isn't as good as true AWD system, having 300-320ish horsepower would certianly jab Subaru in the eye.
August 10, 200718 yr COULD IT BE A COUPE PERHAPS?A 3-door coupe would be kickass!If there's a word for 'reborn' in Swedish it would be 'refödd' (I haven't learned the prefix for 'twice' yet), but 'rebjörn' sounds funny, even in Swedish Edited August 10, 200718 yr by ZL-1
August 10, 200718 yr SAAB used to make interesting cars.... before I hit high school age. When was that, last year? You look young! Edited August 10, 200718 yr by Pontiac Custom-S
August 10, 200718 yr Yeah... I do look very young, I got carded for the freekin lottery the other day but I'm actually 28 years old. Well, maybe noy mentally but I've been alive since April, 1979.
August 10, 200718 yr A 3-door coupe would be kickass! If there's a word for 'reborn' in Swedish it would be 'refödd' (I havent learned the prefix for 'twice' yet), but 'rebjörn' sounds funny, even in Swedish Saab - Björn From Jets!
August 10, 200718 yr Saab - Björn From Jets!Saab - Född Från Jetflyg, kanske? Edited August 10, 200718 yr by ZL-1
August 10, 200718 yr Black Turbo, love the sound of that. Something about driving a black car with a stealth dash, 300+hp and killer looks.....
August 11, 200718 yr COULD IT BE A COUPE PERHAPS? I doubt Saab would commit that much money for a new bodystyle for a limited edition model, on an old platform about to be phased out in favor of the Ep II in a couple of years.
August 11, 200718 yr I think it is a nice looking car and a good idea. I remember the SAAB Turbos. They had those Pontiac looking wheels too. Go SAAB!
