The 900 isn't a paragon of reliability, but you can change a clutch on one in less time than it takes to change a water pump, and you'll get less dirty in the process. How's that for logic?
its because everyone knows a clutch is more important than a water pump! SHIFTING > COOLING

If Saab's going to die, I wonder what they're going to do with the new models. There was some speculation in IRC that they've already made a couple of dozen of those new 9-5's. Scrap 'em or sell 'em as rare collectibles?

In light of the news alluded to by Watkins' giant exclamation point and previous post, I'd like to admit that I have a Hap penis.

Better that GM would wind down SAAB than to be down wind of a SAAB.
