Actually, I believe the award was for Chuck, not his car. Great job Chuck!
And as a prior owner of a "9 DASH 3" and a current owner of a "9 DASH 5" I
think it's GREAT! In fact, I wish that Saab still made cars in the spirit of
the 93/95/96 and 99s. That is: fun, efficient, practical and pretty well
engineered at a reasonable price. You can't even buy one today without
aluminium wheels, air conditioning, alarm system, power everything etc. etc.
etc.
As an aside I do think it's cool that the 95 was a wagon, and you can get a
"9 DASH 5" wagon, though I must admit it's a funky way to "name" a car.
There's no way to properly display its name without typesetting controls or
graphics. I guess you could say "nine three" or "nine five" (which is the
"proper" way to say it).
