So would i Tony 
I've always had a thing for saab, ever since the 900 turbo, 9000carlsson etc etc, i thought they were pretty cool yet quirky, and different of course, not everyone's cuppa which i like.
Their own engineered stuff is brilliant, and i currently have a saab9-5 as a daily driver and its brillant.
I might do a post on it one day, its a real sleeper, looks pretty grandpa but goes like a scalded cat!
The fact that the 9000 also losely borrowed the floorplan from a 164/thema/saab concoction must have sealed the deal as ok to have a saab today, although typically saab changed an awful lot of it to suit their designs on safety i suspect.
I wonder if they managed to work out the torque steer?

Cheers guys, i am not alone. 
I borrowed a 900 turbo once for a weekend. Used loads of fuel 'cos I just loved clogging it. It felt safe and heavy but went like a rocket arm chair with burnt orange velour trim.
I am not familiar with later cars but the 99 appealed as well.
