Saab Shutdown

 

You know, I loved my Saab 900 Turbo. It was a thinking man’s car. The engineers weren’t afraid to follow reason, even if it meant overriding tradition. I like that about the car.

As the news that Saab is shutting down, I reminisced on the car and my experiences with it. It came to me that I had always wanted to own one of these:

Its the Saab Sonett III, their two-seat sports car from the mid 70’s. This car, believe it or not, has a 55hp motor in it. Only about 8,300 were manufactured. I’m sure just  a handful remain.

I wonder should I ever be able to get my hands on one? That could be a thrill.
