Different eras, different design, same country.

First up, a Saab 99. A clean and simple little car with amazing wheels.

Kinja'd!!! Kinja'd!!! Kinja'd!!!

Next up, a Volvo 262C by Bertone. A car inspired by, but better looking IMO than, the Lincoln Continental Mark IV.

Kinja'd!!! Kinja'd!!! Kinja'd!!!

Finally, the Volvo Amazon. Look at that interior, it’s fantastic.

DD the Saab, Rally the 122, Crush the abortion that is the 262C. It is by far the ugliest car to come out of the 80's. It looks like a 242 that has been rolled a few times.

To be fair, the Lincoln that inspired it is one of the worst designs of all time. I’m not a 262C fan.

You’ve done this wrong, in every way possible.

Yeah, but it at least had a somewhat decent engine, in comparison to the PRV V6.

I don’t really care for the Amazon, but the B20 is so much better than the PRV.

Ditto what turbo squirrel said. The other two are beautiful classic Swedes, but I never liked the 262c.

The 262C is very much of its time and, like all postmodern styling, has aged very poorly.

Can I have the PRV I need it to put into a Renault Dauphine? It is not easy to find a PRV.

But it still handles less power than the Redblock.

True. Automakers were still struggling with various federal regulations at that time, too.

DD the SAAB, sell the 262 to a classy collector, donate the Amazon to an art museum.

I was looking at that Saab last night on BAT. Clean as F#@K. Love those wheels. Too bad, didn’t it say it’s in Germany

DD Saab because fantastic automatic heated seats

Track Amazon because of so many aftermarket parts opportunities for historic racing

Rally 262 but with a B230FT swap and improved suspension
