Oh, my parents had a late SAAB 96 when I was real wee. Lovely old machine that was. Sadly didn't get out much as the garage doors were a bit of a trouble IIRC :lol: This one looks particularly sporty though! They did well in rallies, didn't they

Triumph engines in most of them I believe after they'd left the two strokes behind them (if it wasn't a Taunus V4 obviously)

Wouldn't buy the Cinquecento either, BTW, it's really tiny, and when I say really tiny I mean really really tiny :eek:

Not just that tiny, we still talk about cars.

That's actually very roomy on the inside :D But yes, about that big, but with four seats instead :eek:

Surfing on Wiki for that SAAB, I found out the guy designing that also designed the first Hasselblad camera. Isn't the world a mad place :notworthy:

But the absolutely unSmart crapthing with the short wheelbase and high body will give you headbutts when you drive down curbs.. :eek:
I couldn believe it whe that crapthing knocked me one.
Otherwise the seats are pretty comfy. That and the apparently enduring engine are the pros. Then start the cons..

I've only sat in one, so wouldn't be able to tell :lol: Most of that should be sorted out with the new version all that though? :eek:
