I rented a Pontiac G6 last week.
What a piece of garbage.
IMO, GM should have scrapped that one
and kept the SAAB

Lets just say, they made some "unique" cars and had their loyal following, but lately their products have been mediocre. I drove the 9-3 awhile ago and it was very..........meh.

I agree, a saab definitely drives better than a pontiac. A Saab 9-5 aero isn't half bad. Of course, it's no BMW

The early ones were like DKWs, the 99 was great, the 900 was good, and the 9-x was the start of a long slide downhill. Too bad, I liked the 'from jets' slogan.

Too bad. I think GM was the ruin of Saab. The more recent examples looked like, well, GM cars. I remember really loving and wanting a 900 SPG. It just seems so cool and different.

Saabs are great. They're cheap, they're sporty, luxurious.
Thats why the high school parking lot is full of them.

My neighbor just picked one up CPO and has already dropped 40% in reparing it! 3 months!
