Saab loyalists lament passing of iconic brand

Honestly didn't know there were "Saab loyalists" but always sad to see an old brand name go away.

Yes, in deed, Saab loyalists.
Have a white 1971 in the driveway that looks like the green one in the linked article.
And had a 1983 turbo that was great.
Duff is the stuff!

I had a friend with a mid-80s 900 Turbo that was fun to drive but it had a real funky waste gate setup on the turbo that made the turbo more like a light switch and for some reason it didn't like to run real well when it was raining, so in Oregon, that was an issue, hehe.
