- 2003 Saab 9-5 ARC ( and care-taker of a '98 900SE)
Take a trade for a Mazda 6 + $6000?? It'd make a perfect winter beater!
Kidding aside (unless that sounds good (doubt it does though)), congrats on the new car! And good luck selling your 9-5. My brother might be supporting the brand in a little while. Bluegrass Saab has a new black over parchment 2011 9-3 for $24k and after trade in of his car and other incentives the monthly payments would be completely affordable. I hope he goes through with it!I don't drive fast...I fly slow

I picked it up this morning and had a wonderful 400-mile drive home.
Wow, wat an amazing vehicle. The test drive was nice last weekend but it turned out even better on the long drive home. I will make a review in a few weeks after I get more familiar with it because there is so much to talk about. And mostly only good things!
I also have to take some more pictures as these were taken at a rest area. The first thing I did when i got home was washing the bugs off. Can't have that on a new car.

Mike, I'll be sending you a self-addressed stamped envelope this week because I need a SaabWorld sticker for this one.
I feel very fortunate and lucky to live in a country where it is possible to buy and drive a vehicle like this. In most European countries, it would cost 3 to 4 times as much to buy and you would have to sell both an arm and a leg to afford fuel and road tax, use tax, city tax, parking, gas guzzler tax and "whatever-we-think-of-charging-because-we-can" tax.

As much as I like this car, I have to say the rims are not its strongest points... In any case, waiting for your full report and pics!. The last one is stunning, by the way.
