Looks bad for Saab

[patman]

My family has 4 of them now...all have been good cars, economical and dependable--if not exciting.  I will miss Saturn--since they're all plastic, they never rust.

Last week, we experienced some fine GM engineering with a loaner car ('08 Pontiac Grand Prix). You would think a car company located in a snow state would design windshield wipers that can stand up for clearing snow. Nope. The hood traps the windshield wipers so they only lift out 2 inches - not enough to get a snow brush underneath. Grrrr. I doubt that GM did Saab any favors.

Koenigsegg backs out of Saab deal

Worst car I ever owned was my 74 Saab 99. Still I hate to see the brand go by the wayside, and that looks like a real possibility.

Lucky they sold it before everything else went bad.

I pity the fool that bought it.

I will miss Saturn.  I've had 4 of them now.  My Vue is pretty peppy for a six-cylinder automatic.  It's been one of the best cars I've ever had.  And I've been through about 50 in my life so far.

You are one of the good ones, gweimer!!

I've had 3 Saabs. Love em. GM decimated their swedish design staff and destroyed their market.Turned them into pimped out Opels. The"new" model is a friggin Opel w/ a Saab medallion...

I'm being paid back for my kind words...

As of yesterday, my Vue is doing some very weird things.  If my headlights are ON, my right turn signal is also constantly on.  If they are OFF, the odometer blinks alternately when I use the right turn signal.  The electronic door locks also stopped working.  Looks like I'm headed for more service.  One more time, and I may start thinking about a new vehicle.  Maybe a new HHR Panel truck.

I just picked up a 2007 Nissan Murano with the CVT - I'm liking it a LOT. Responsive, roomy, reclining back seats, super driver. Check 'em out!

The HHR caught my eye. I want to A/B the HHR with the Jeep Patriot...affordable and the right size for when I work in the city.

Don't you have a bedroom?

Uwe, there's an old 'Murrican saying:  Variety is the spice of life.

In fact, you can even buy a tent that snaps on to the back end of these:



This tells you something about how car-obsessed we are.....

 Get a Subaru Gary!

But isn't that a car for lesbians? Pull up to the doughnut bumper, baby!
