They're not wrong. Saab's demise, in my opinion, started with GM. The Saab 900 was bullet-proof, but the 9-3 put me off Saab completely. It was based on GM's Opel Vectra platform and shared some components. It also has the dubious honour of being one of the least reliable cars I've ever owned - and that includes the Alfa Romeo!
- bestham 3y agoThere were two 900s. The first one was a SAAB platform. The later one was based on Opel. That car was turned into the 9-3 later.
- yobbo 3y agoThe second-gen 900 was a mish-mash of various Opel and Saab parts, but had Saab drivetrain, "wrap-around" wind-shield (sort of), rear-axle, etc. It developed into the first-gen 9-3. The second-gen 9-3 was GM Epsilon-something-based and had GM drivetrain.
- bestham 3y agoYes that is right. I’ve always loved the first gen 900 since we had a three door one when I was a kid.
