I’m actually looking to buy a 9-3 Aero right now. When I saw that new body style for the convertible though, all I could think of was a Toyota Solara :meh: ---

Certainly reads like a press release. Only slightly less hype in there than the segway had in it’s marketing. My prediction… in a 6 car shootout the new Saab will come in 5th, ahead of Volvo but behind the other players, pretty much just as it’s been for some time. ---
