In the US Saab uses the tagline "Born From Jets". In comparison to the CCX, jets seem really boring.

So, has it been since 1990 that Saab has lost its appeal? People keep mentioning that GM's international push for Saab is a reason that sales and interest has been down despite customer loyalty. Can someone shed some light on this for me.

Visca Catalunya!
it was discontinued, but having known an owner, it was pretty cool. you got the engine from an STi, the less aggressive suspension from the WRX, and a way better interior. wife was interested a few years back, but they discontinued it by the time we were in the market for her car.
Honor. Courage. Commitment. Etcetera.
Really? What if you are looking for having the rear wheels driven? Or natural aspiration? Or higher a higher performance model?
It seems to me that Saab leaves you high and dry on those three fronts for the most part.
Also consider: what's nicer looking across the ages? Maybe it's just me but I have a massive dislike of Saab's designs throughout it's history.
I think it's a pretty bold claim to say that a Saab is the equal of a BMW or Benz of that same class frankly - and I personally doubt that the automotive press would share your sentiments.
Let's just say Saabs have very distinctive designs, and that liking it or hating it is very subjective.
And not all cars in the world are made for performance. Anyway, I'm sure their Aero models can't be that bad for a sports saloon of it's price range.
Honestly, I maybe biased cos I have one, but I have been in/driven cars of the same year, and same price/class, such as pre-2000 Merc C classes, and BMW 3 series of 2001/2002, and the Saab I have is far superior in terms of quality and comfort. More space, better equipment eg. sound system, and better safety.
