That's an expensive piece of kit.  Wow, $52,000 base and $58,000 as tested  :o  Maybe it's just me but that seems like a lot of money

Can't imagine they will sell too many at that price unless there are tons of die hard Saab fans left.

GM points might help....but there's way too many good drop tops in this price.

I don't see many on the roads...I guess there's a good reason for that.  Being an aviation bugg, I want to really like Saabs...sigh.

I found the article refreshing as finally someone tells us how they really feel about a car they didn't like.

I'm sick of all the US car mags and Kenzie's reviews that are an essential repeat of the press kit.
