Nice!! White is a great color, hides dirt surprisingly well.

I never been a fan of white cars, but I LOVE Corvettes in white! Any Corvette any year white is good to me. However, outside of that I've always had an issue. Considering my wife will go months on end with out cleaning her cars, I guess white is good for her. I think I get to inherit the Exploder parked next to it. We are still taking about it!

Yup! Since the wife said the C4 had to go, I at least wanted something decent and sporty. It has the turbo in it. It's kind of doggy off the start, but once the turbo spools up it does pretty good.

I think it's funny that my buddy Durango Boy's wife has a Saab and now my wife has one. Way too much in common!

I think it's cool. I don't like white either but I like that she's into Saab, which, once Spyker gets their shit together, will have a lot of new and exciting models to offer.

Here's my Wife's Saab, a 2007 9-3 2.0L Turbo.

Sarah's car is bad ass! I'm jealous. I'm also a cheap ass and wouldn't buy the old lady a new one either!

Sucks to be both of you.

Nice looking, great driving... just wait until the sub-par durability catches up. I would SO not advise anyone to buy one. Seriously.

First off, they have the same problem with any mid-range European car - high parts prices. The GM connection didn't help that enough.

My niece had one... got rid of it last year after the turbo took a shit. And I have heard that is common.

No the C4 is still around. Probably not for long as you mentioned the price is right. I didn't have much in the car and it needs to go quick. I've got a few people coming this weekend to take a look. It will be missed!
