I struggle to separate Saab and Volvo in my affections. Saab was my first love but the affection has diminished over the years, I own neither now but suspect I feel more affinity with Volvo. Today. This may change tomorrow.

I've never had a Saab (Ive never had Ulrika either, sadly).
My brother had a 93 and loved it. He loved it a bit less when I pointed out his numberplate started with KN03. Me: nice car, I see you've put private plates on it Him:? Me: look at it again, knob Him:..... *#@* Me: just know that everytime you take that out, someone will say 'look at that knob'. That's atleast £500 off the asking price. I bet the salesman couldn't believe his luck.... Hey lads, I've sold the Knob car! The wife: Hi Paul, nice car. I see you put private plates on it. |

Saabs, real Saabs, ended with the 9000. Anything after that was basically a Vauxhall in disguise, and the drop in quality that brought with it was huge.
My immediate family have over the years owned between us four classic 900's (two 8v Turbos, one T16s, one Carlsson), two 9000s (both 2.3 litre high pressure turbo), one early 9-3 convertible (the only non-turbo we ever had), a late 9-3 Aero, and an early 9-5 Aero. The only one we still have is the 9-5 Aero, which is the best of the GM era cars, ... but still not even close in quality to a late 9000 CSE 2.3 turbo. And I now have a V70 T5, ... and still miss my Saab 9000 :-(
