The last generation of the 900 series were based on the same platform as the Opel Vectra, Chevrolet Malibu and Pontiac G6 - collectively known as the "Epsilon" platform.
They took it from being a quirky turbo hatch with personality to a fairly generic sedan.
Worked for a very short period, but Saab got stuck selling HEAVILY discounted leases and nothing else. Residuals went down the drain.
My brother owned a Vectra in Brazil, I really liked that car. Far better than the Fiat he had prior.
I owned a 2003 L-series for 7 years and I'm quite familiar with the above statement. I once had to spend $1200 for new brakes (pads, rotors and calipers). Plus I had to replace the BCM twice ($600 each).
My current DD ('06 ION) is similar to the Chevy Cobalt. Much cheaper for parts.

Me driving my '63 Studebaker Lark Daytona with Avanti power and factory Skytop sunroof.
This was taken on a country road near Mantua, OH, about four years ago. The photographer had his 15-year-old daughter (!) driving his Tahoe in the left lane while he hung out the right window snapping the photo!
The car's in Australia now. Sold it last year.

"First By Far With a Postwar Car" was their slogan that year. My brother-in-law has a '49 Studebaker convertible, light yellow and a very nice car. He married into the family about five years ago and I think I reignited his long-buried appreciation of Studebakers! Not sure that's a good thing or not.

A Cruise-In would consist of a bunch of pickups with mounted plow blades.
while on some local streets, an early (pre-Bumper) Gremlin passed by, then returned a few minutes later. Had a V8 (that I could hear) and I think a stick. blue. Needed paint, but body looked sound with no rust noticed.
Told my daughter that I wanted it bad. She, as usual, thought I was nuts!

I was outside today mowing the lawn (still growing!) in a tee shirt. In December. just not right.

Was 68 yesterday here in Denver ... we need some rain or snow. Ski resorts are struggling, and the lack of precip plus high winds makes for ripe fire conditions.
Oh, wait ... there is a fire burning in Rocky Mtn Nat'l Park; it started in early October and is still going.
Will they be back next Saturday for the cruise? Forcast should be definitely colder in this area.
2014 Malibu 2LT, 2015 Cruze 2LT,
Still running? Impossible.
Those were cool, though.
Don't those have aircraft style brakes?
What are 'aircraft style brakes'?
He's still in this building so I'll have to ask him for more details about that. Must be the type of mechanism used.
I should also find out what he's driving nowadays, I'm sure something eccentric.
anti lock brakes? :confuse:
Also, a mid 70's F150 with a rattle can turquoise/white paint job.

It sounded good as it drove by, even though I had the windows up.
I don't know if I have ever noticed the continental kit before - around here, fake wood paneling and stick on flames were the rage.

This has probably got to be the lowest-mileage 240D I've ever seen. I have driven two of them, but they were both automatics, and they had to be some of the slowest vehicles I've had the pleasure of driving. I had the accelerator down halfway expecting it to accelerate modestly, and I wasn't surprised.
