Excuse my ignorance, never been big on Swedish cars!

Which Saabs over the last 20 years have been RWD?

Yeah, a couple of MF layouts, I think that the early Sonnetts were. All the rest are FF as far as I know. Recent ones were 4WD, but never RWD.

I had a 95. Inline 1500cc V4 Taunus engine at front with FWD gearbox behind. Column gearchange with freewheel ! Similar gearbox to earliest two stroke versions, hence still having freewheel, and directly attached to engine - not by chain. My gearbox broke and massive job to change as engine has to come out first.

I'm pretty sure they have all been FWD for at least the last 40 years. I can remember a friend having a three cylinder two stroke engine'd one that was FWD (many years ago).

Setting aside Scania trucks, Saab have never made a RWD vehicle.
