Pretty good job, all in all. I just don't see anything on price, however.

Intercooled turbo motor
AWD
6 speed manual
Rollin' on 18's
Badass Black

All wrapped up in a "sport combi" body? Dude... this will be one sweet ass wagon!! Who wants a 3-series wagon or that bile-inducing WRX wagon thing when you can have THIS? And I'll bet this Saab will be plenty cheaper than an S4 Avant, which is 50 grand plus.

For those of you lamenting the Volvo 850 T5R wagon of the mid 90's, here is your car. And it's Swedish to boot.

BTW, I'm sure a Tech II service can delete the message. The press release said the display can be personalized for the owner so I'm sure it can be eliminated, too. No big deal.

"Unique design evokes look for classic black Saab 900 Turbo"

I just don't see it. I am biased in favor of cars with 3 doors, but a sedan Saab will never remind me of the original turbocharged hatch.

This whole "Born from jets" thing has got to stop....

Bring on the XWD...and a WRC version of the 9-3.
