Wordiness of the name aside lol, I always love a good Saab. This is a very good-looking car to me at least. High cool. Those 3-spoke wheels are awesome.

I'm sorry- I've never been a Saab fan. I'd rather get my Swedish vehicle awesomeness from Volvo, or even Koenigsegg. Its looks suggest Uncool. Its performance, however, suggests Cool. I didn't begin to appreciate Saab performance until I started watching some of those "MotorWeek" marathons on YouTube with segments on Saab. Even though I don't like Saab, there's enough to this car in its design and performance that it gets a (low) Cool from me.

I'll be the only SZ. Black W/tan 1990 Saab 9000T as my first car, in '95. Sadly, never bought the Saab Aero wheels I wanted back then(especially, not getting the 9000 2.3T that came with them). Seeing the Saab 900 Carlsson in UK Car magazine, really got me into Saabs as a teen. When the 9000 came out, I hated it wasn't a "true" Saab. Though, in the same breath, the Lancia Thema V8 and Alfa 164 were to die for.

Anyway, awesome car. It was the performance limousine of hatchbacks. I also preferred the machine finished Saab Aeros over the mesh wheels.

I love each and every Tipo 4 chassis-based cars, and this one is no exception.
Very high cool

Easy SZ for the headlight wipers alone.

Unpopular opinion alert:
I've never liked 90s+ Saabs. They are not the ugliest cars but they are enough to put uncool.
The sedan is better than the liftback, so meh.

I've always liked the 9000 but the body kit doesn't do it any favours. Overall cool because Saabs are cool.

Not my cup of tea, gentlemen. Sorry.

Meh.
