- calvinmorrison 4y agoI love saab. I don't think they had a chance. There's no room to be different in today's car economy.
- lillecarl 4y agoA SAAB (It's SAAB, Svenska Aeroplan/Automobile AB) 95 wouldn't be too different from a car of today though, with superb ride quality, turbocharger, proper deformation zones, extra reinforced A-pillars (moose protection), automatic angle adjustment of front lights (when loading heavy in the trunk), FWD. These are things on top of my head that no "regular" car (that'd be Volvo, I'm Swedish) had at that time (many cheaper cars still don't) that "most" cars has today. My father rides one, and the only different things I'd say are where the key and the window buttons are located, the rest is just like any car you'd buy today, except it's 15-20 years old. "It's a human right to feel safe"! EDIT: What I'm saying is, back then people couldn't afford luxury cars, but that market has boomed since SAAB went out. Volvo used to be "the workers car" in Sweden (still is I guess), but they went from being "cheap and reliable" to expensive and like everything else.
