Okay... Time to defend "The Wedge" Sure BL didn't get it right right off... The did iron out the problems eventually... To my mind it's kind of a cool looking beast (at least the roadsters are).Furt

I would not dissent. The '80 convertible I had was not terrible LOOKING, O just thought it was a weak, wheezing car... the dash of a Toyota, the engine of a (tired) Saab... admittedly, it was not in

SNIP Let's clarify this particular notion. The similarities between the SAAB engine and the Triumph equivalent are not by chance. But SAAB bought the Triumph design, not vice-versa. So in reality, it

FWIW, I'm sorry I ever picked up on this thread! :-) Yeah, kinda sorta. The engine originated with Triumph and, for a while, was built by Triumph for Saab in the early 99s. Later Saab versions evolve

I'll say. I used to know a mechanic at Morrie's. in Minnesota, and the first batch of SAAB 99s they got had bad engines in them. He told me the golden age of SAAB was coming to a close. Phil Ethier
