Makes me feel kinda sorry for Saab...




They used to make some quite nice cars, but now they're associated with Spyker! Whats the bet the next Saab has a giant chrome ship's wheel welded to its roof?

...remember DAF? made -and still do- large trucks and very weird, small, belt-driven cars. Got swallowed by Volvo. Is this Holland taking its revenge?

What are you meant to think about a company who appear to have serious motorsport intentions (and budget) but also fill their cars with hideous and pointless bling. Saab isn't know for its bling status or (in recent years) motorsport credentials, so now I'm confused even more...

[Fraster]

...so it's a bling & buy sale? (I'll get my coat)

[Fraster]

aha!
