Maybe I'll get a Laser Red 9-5 next.

Finding parts certainly would be fun..

New Saabs are sexy as hell.

Cannot disagree with you.

I basically fall in love everytime I see one.

If you do get one, you'd be my hero forever.

I saw a silver one in August while driving and I screamed with excitement, and my good buddy sitting next to me just looked at me and said , "Huh?"

I had never felt so alone in my entire life.

The daytime LED's make the car very nice and define the front very well. Every time I see one I wonder what could've been...

Imagine what would be had they stayed a car.

They could have pushed the car to a new level of pretty....Like Lancia Stratos levels.....(To me the Stratos is a beautiful car)

The Stratos is one of the most amazing looking cars ever to exist. Saab could've done great things... maybe they still can...

Yeah but who knows what's going to happen? I'm not holding my breath.

I saw two just the other day, everyone else in the car had no clue what I was freaking out about about.

That loneliness..

I'm partial to the blue (can't remember the exact name) ones.

Exactly....They could just totally do nothing and just own the name, or they can bring cars back...If they get a good design team formed and do some magic under the Name.

But when you mention the name "Saab" to someone they almost immedietly groan and moan about the reliability issues...Not understanding that it is how the car was treated that reflected how it treated you. They were sensitive little cars I've seen some well treated ones at 240k+ miles on them.

Yesyesyesyesyesyesyesyesyes. My experience with a 2006 9-5 Aero SportCombi is that while parts are a little more expensive, there are several websites that provide quite good coverage of all parts, from parts commonplace on cars of all makes to the more esoteric Saab-specific stuff. Like that "Fasten Belts" lamp, or the stupid seat control panel that breaks if you put even the littlest pressure on the outer bolster.

Embassy Blue? My all-time favorite is Ultramarine Blue, which ironically is ultra-rare. Here's my 2nd favorite Saab (not the model, this specific one). Favorite is the 900 Safari, but everyone loves that thing.
