Odd, the rims on the electric version look just like Tesla's turbine rims. I never owned a Saab myself but I get the impression they are solid, lovable cars.

- OopsCriticality 11y agoYou know how if you're stopped at a light and clean the windshield, the washer fluid sprays, the wipers cycle, and then there's some drips of washer fluid at the top of the wiped area that then drips down the windshield so you have to manually trigger the wipers again? My old Saab had a delay built in to the call for wiper fluid so that it would automatically sweep the wipers a few seconds to get those last drips. It was but one of many thoughtful design elements. Saabs had a character that was unique; regardless of how one felt personally about driving one, the auto world is poorer place without Saab.
