I'm not mad since I don't own a new one, but I think it looks terrible.

I'm going to agree with this one, Jim.

Default They're _better_

The original cars look like Pontiac Sunfires at night. No amber signal lights on an autobahn car??!! Retarded. FWIW my pop just sold his 2000 2.7T for a Beemer 330Xi. Woulnd't have been my choice, but he was sick of Audis. Reliability was not good either for us...

I liked the thing though. Even though it had a leaky head gasket, warped brakes, and a lurchy drivetrain. Sold it at 82,000 miles. (!) Not saying beemers are better -- I hate the social vibe of BMW. But the 530Xi doesn't exist yet... ;( And the irony of a WRX was lost on him.. Bye Audi! Liked ya, but in my personal heart, there is only Saab. Peace out.

Default I love it and it may be because of the people on this board

We were discussing the very subject before AoA switched the taillights over.

Then again, fiddling the taillights is a very normal thing for a midyear change.

I like the yellow blinkers a lot. I prefer yellow blinkers. That's why I switched to the Hella taillights.

Default So I guess you'll be spending more time on the Saab board and less time here

since you now own a Saab. BTW, Audi's reliability has gotten a lot better over the years and they are now on par with BMW and MB. Of course that is less true of turbo models, especially the A6 2.7T and B5 S4. And Saabs reliability is not even close to being best in class. In fact, they're reliability is lower than all of the German cars (Audi and Opel included), Toyota/Lexus, Nissan/Infiniti, Honda/Acura, Volvo, even Jaguar. Adios, wik. Enjoy your Swedish Chevy.
