    This is a great idea. Now if only they made toys for adults like that...

    I think saab makes some of the best looking cars around. I know I am in a small minority and with the way GM is going I may be a dying breed ... a real pity, they used to make great cars and they still make great engines. Still I cant help but compare my saab with my mac - theyre both a bit elderly machines but both provide me with ... i dunno exactly what ... i'm probably as weird as they come :)

  3. Get above the sticker 2004 Saab by montjoy0 · · Score: 1 · on EPA Fuel Economy Myth: Too High, Too Low?
    2004 Saab 93 2.0t 5 speed manual (175hp). Depending on how I drive, I can usually get at least the sticker. For example, I recently took a short trip across the state and got about 38 mpg while driving around 55-60 mph (highway was advertised as 34). If I bring it up to 70 it usually drops to around 35-36. In town I make quite a few stops but still usually average around 24-26 (23 on the sticker).

    That combined with fairly good performance (0-60 in 8 seconds) makes me think the car has a perfect balance between performance and fuel economy.

    BMW offers European Delivery, also Volvo, Saab, Porsche, Mercedes Benz, and maybe a few more I'm too lazy to look up, offer similar programs.

    It's just the kind of thing that makes you realize that Ferraris and Porsches are boxy and swollen, and that you don't have to give up the dreams about cars you had as a boy.

    I don't know about that. It looks quite a bit along the lines of the Carrera GT or the Enzo (though the Enzo has sharper lines). I don't know how much the Koenigsegg runs, but if it's anywhere in the vicinity of those two supercars ($500K and $650K, respectively for the Carrera GT and Enzo), it's out of most people's price range. It's certainly out of mine. Still, a sweet car, if not as boring as other Swedish cars.

    The 9-3 is nice, but I'm more interested in the 9-3X and 9X
