Copying '80 sports car hood in 2004... That tells you styling and design was so surperb some had to copy it.

Copying is a form of compliment. If it's a piece of ****, noone will be copying.

Fact: You never seen any car copying AMC Gremlins, have you ?

Why did Saab abandon their classic horrid looks for this sporty shitwagon? My friend has an older Saab and we call it the Platypus, for it's inherent ugliness and absolute lack of style.

Those beasts are tanks and they should remain tanks!

...and besides, we all know Saab is just copying BMW with their new "sportscar", hehe.

I actually like the new Saabs. My mom has a 9000 Griffen Edition. It is a maintance hog. But I do enjoy the look of the car. The interior is very nice and well layed out.

The time I saw a 9-3 Viggen I was very impressed. That looked very nice.

Besides, I do not think BMW ever made a fighter jet. As I recall Saab has

To my knowledge BMW never made an airplane. However, they did build piston engines for airplanes. They never built a turbine engine.

However, Saab does build aircraft. One of my favorites is the Draken.

Since GM has ties to saab and subaru, this car is based on the WRX, that scoop is definantly for an intercooler

Should be an interesting alternative to the 3-series. To me it sounds sort of like an upscale WRX.. NICEEEE

Finally a saab without horrible torque steer!

yeah, this car is really a Saab WRX. The frame and much of the driveline parts are straight from the WRX

Anybody's mom would look good if their picture was taken with a fisheye lens like that saab was. Cover it in grease, dirt and flour THEN take it's picture. If it still looks good, give me a call.

I don't think I'm fully awake yet, because this post doesn't even make sense to me.

The new Saab 9-2 is a rebodied WRX. It has jokingly been nicknamed the Saabaru.
