I've been rejoicing the fact all day! Time to make a new desktop image; for the longest time I had the Koenigsegg / Aero X picture on my computer. Need to find a Spyker / Saab mashup pronto!

Wonder if this will stop the re badging nonsense (9-7x, 9-2x), well i guess the 9-2x isn't being 'made' any more. My gf has a 9-3, it's ok... nothing great.

What generation of 9-3? That makes a huge difference as to whether its a surprisingly fantastic car or a pile of crap.

it's a 2006 9-3, don't know much about saabs, just don't like this one that much. And since it has an automatic my opinion is negative right out of the gate. The overall feel of the car is a little mushy, it feels bigger than it is (in a bad way).

Right in the heart of GM-ness. Good 9-3s ended in '02 with the last of the first generation

Picked it up the beginning of July last year. Just before the SS meet.
