      Yeah in what world are Saab cars shitty? They’re generally pretty good as far as I know (which, to be honest, isn’t all that far)

        Can confirm that SAAB cars are great! Mine is coming up on 19 years old, and apart from some superficial issues still works as well as when it rolled out of the shop. SAAB was also very innovative with their cars, taking a lot of inspiration from their jets, which is clearly seen in their design.

          Didn’t they also over-engineer their cars, with things like putting limited-slip differentials on ‘normal’ cars? Thought that was one of the reasons they went under.

          Ah, that explains why I saw a Saab launching Sidewinders on the highway
