Yes, the Saab piece was great but the point he makes is spot-on and it's one that we should be communicating to prospective buyers. "You commute daily amongst a mass of cars on I75.  Not Laguna Seca but you get to sprinkle in some occasional moments on fun, open roads". Saab.    Car mags do a great job telling you how well a BMW M3 does on the track but get one in the real world and your daily grind and it's a different story.  Conversely, they'll tell you how soft the ride, and how supple the interior of a Lexus is, but get out on some open twisties and fahgedaboutit. There's no soul. No spirit. No thrill.  Saab strikes that balance exeptionally well.  No overwhelming glitz, glam and shiny interior parts...It simply does the job of "the driver and car become one" better than most. Sadly, what makes Saab the perfect car doesn't sell magazines. Favorite quote: "If you're uncomfortable in a Saab bucket, you have your knees on backward" Dyer’s entry was a fantastic read.
