What did I see? A lot of new Kias. So many that I did'nt bother to count them. Behind them I managed to see 2 Saab 9-3. This pissed me off! The best place in a SAAB Showroom should be for a SAAB, nothing else! Where is the support for SAAB in Bodoe (Bodø), Norway? I’ll tell a little true story from yesterday that made me sad:

I am sad that I couldn't attend. By the way, I just wonder, doesn't it feel very awkward for you Swade to drive a left hand drive car on the right side of the road all of a sudden?

Speaking about the photos, when I look at this white Saab 9-5 especially by Hirsch upgraded, I can't help me but thinking that the Aero X design had a real influence and the result is gorgeous, unusual as well, typically Saab.
