i really wouldnt call it a masterpiece. kinda outdated and overpriced too. would not have been much of a success if it went into production i think 😁
Have you driven one? If not, you won’t understand what this car and most Saabs are about. I own several and my 2010 has become my daily.
Right you are Kevin, Currently driving a black 2008 9-5 Areo. Looks new.
Have had two 9000s and one 9-5 Arc in the past too.
Never owned a Saab. A bit of regrets, really liked the secondhands 900turbo’s…
Have a 95 NG Aero TTiD4 manual and it is an excellent car. Comfy, looks good and fast off the mark. Just a shame GM binned the brand and killed Saab off.
’embodies preformance’ ? completly on the contrary. I’s slow and heavy for its engine and power. even after mods that lead to around 400KM You won’t make it faster than 5,5sek 0-100. Transmission sucks. It’s a nice, comfortable car, but it has nothing to do with a good performance.
Who in Greenville S.C works on Sabbs.
Snyggaste Saaben!
Still looks good 👍
Je cherche la même mais impossible de trouver. TROP dommage
13 years old!!! Could be released today
GM couldn’t compete with SAAB then drop it…
SAAB was matketed by GM the motor was a SAAB engine. GM wantrd to pur Vauxhall engines or Opel engines in them. Either way it spelt the end of one of the finest cars on te world. Sweden stopped making yhem saying they the government isn’t a car manufacturer.
Every time I drive my TTiD XWD and previous 95s it feels like a special event.. unlike any other make or model I have owned
Nooe, no masterpiece there. No Saab soul no Saab push no high level quality… good car but not good enough for Saab.
Neida, svenskene bygde om bilen og tok tilbake NOE av Saab-“genetikken”… har jeg hørt. Aldri kjørt en NG, men satser på å kjøpe et godt eksemplar en vakker dag 🥰
Having owned a 900 SPG, 9000T, 9-3Aero and now a 9-5 Aero, I think the last one is the most satisfying of all of them. Love it!
