Anyone have any recent experience with the SAAB line? remember, this will be a pre-Ford ownership model. Anyone?

Tony,
While I can't speak to the long term reliability of a Saab, I can say that my one owner (me) almost 2 year old car has been excellent.
The 9-3 Viggens of that era were supposed to be a blast with the turbo engines (of course this adds complications to maintenance but since you own a 951, I'm somehow positive you would know more about that than I). The regular engines are supposed to be fine for a normal driver (sometimes I wish I had gotten the 2L 4cyl) and the hatchback is supposed to be great for cargo.
