the answer is no - no one cares about saab in the US that is for sure - my ex had a SNOB and it was the worsst car mechnically that i have ever had the displeasure of being around - people who buy SNOBs buy them because they want to be different and appear to be a person of refined tastes - but the joke is on them - the reason why no one drives these cars is becuase they suck - not because you need to be a erudite student of modern design to buy one - pompous people who buy these cars get what they deserve - and frankly if the ceo of this company was any good he would havebought Yugo to raise his car's quality
