900 |

For Saab it is because they look good And also because they are somewhat luxury (and expensive) compared to other cars. |

I guess because Saabs and Volvos are safer and more reliable. Or maybe some thought they were more prestigous than the average american sedan. |

Probably, but I still think it's ugly. I never liked those Saabs. |

good reasons. and, as I heard: good design does not mean, something has to be beautiful. :-))) martin |

I like the design of the 900, unlike a lot of american sedans, you instantly know what it is! -- Last edit: 2006-07-20 18:41:36 |

american sedan = brick on wheels. 900 is very distinctive. Ugly? I have to say for a 27 year old design it's aged pretty well..... |

Restyled, at least 1984 onwards. Both Saab and Volvo have (had?) built-in a safety culture in their products that was what appeals or appealed) to (i.e. Volvo Stations) a "mom" to carry around her kids to school and sports ... Also their '70s and early '80s were very safety oriented. |

1987 or later. Composite headlight design. |

This one has optional SPG trim package fitted in... |
◊ 2008-04-24 05:02 |
What does the SPG package include? |
◊ 2008-04-24 20:27 |
yes 1987 (to 1993) |
◊ 2008-04-26 04:46 |
3 spoke wheel with flare rocker panels and I believe dealer installed engine modification to boost horsepower. |

So, the SPG is same as 900 Aero? |
◊ 2008-04-26 20:02 |
I think the 900 Aero only available on the new generation not sure I no longer look at the SAAB after they introduced the composite headlight. It is truly end of quirky era for me |

Volvo and Saab are/were entry level luxury cars. They are cars persons could aspire to have someday. |
