”Eliminerar risken för oljeläckage”, ”service fri” 😂 Har det sett en äldre Saab eller? ”Service fri” inget är service fritt, kam-kedjor behöver ju också underhållas. Sen vilken som är ”bäst” på halt väglag kan man ju diskutera, framhjulsdrift har klara fördelar (i min åsikt), men hur som så lär 740:in med bakhjulsdriften vara roligare. Finner det något fascinerande att höra att framhjulsdrift sågs som mer sportigt, detta är inte första gången jag hör det (det var av liknande åsikt i Trafikmagasinet..), visst man jämför i det här fallet en stel bakaxel med en bakvagn som inte är från sten åldern. Men jag har nog aldrig sett en framhjulsdriven Ferrari, *Austin Martin (om man inte räknar den där Toyota:n med Austin Martin emblem), Lamborghini, BMW M eller *Porsche (om man inte räknar den där första eldrivna). Sen finns ju, Saab Turbo och senare Aero modellerna, Volvo 850R/S70R/V70R och T5 modellerna, Honda Civic/Integra Typ R, Ford Focus RS, Volkswagen Golf GTI och så vidare.. Men i min åsikt är en BMW E46 M3 CSL mer ”sportig” än en Honda Civic Typ R och en Porsche 911 GT3 mer ”sportig” än en Golf GTI, men det är förstås min högs personliga åsikt.

Touché! At least I did not buy my 740 for the sake of its handling but for its practicality, despite its obvious handling issues. I don't like the lack of balance as 740 is almost as badly nose-heavy as typical FWD. While not fast, at least it's predictable and always easy to handle. Understeer takes much more time and space to correct it. And BTW, visible sliding is for teens. For adult drivers, it's enough to feel the rear wheels scratching the ice, sliding very gently just one or two centimeters but not more to slow down the speed by losing traction. The lack of headroom on the back seat of Saab 9000 and FWD dropped off Audi 100 and Saab 9000 from my shopping list. Mercedes 190 (W201) would have been both RWD and affordable but just like Saab, it's too small to be practical. Mercedes W124 which later became the first E-class would have ticked all the boxes in comfort, space, handling and longevity, but I just could not afford it.

Such a super blast from the past Marcus and Manuela! Tack så mycket. I love this retro stuff. It makes me feel 30 years younger. 😂 The objectivity of this was aimed at educating the Saab salesforce. Knowing your competition's strong and weak points was key to being as educated as your customers. Saab customers were indeed an educated group as the video suggests. I have owned a 1983 C900 Turbo and still own a 2007 9-3 2.0t. The difference between the "native" Saab and the post GM Saab is quite distinct, but still far superior to the Opels and Fiats I have driven when in Europe. I came from a staunch Mercedes family. There is still a 1959 219 in our family barn which I have driven extensively when I was young. (Same body style as the older Benz in the video) We also had a 1974 280 sedan. The build qualitty was very high, but the supportive seats and "drive feeling" of the Saabs wins me over every time. Sadly, the build quality of Mercedes has sunk to levels I never imagined. My brother's 2010 GL250 is riddled with build quality issues. Fun fact, while developing the 190 series "Baby Benz", the engineers at Mercedes were told the only way that car would be approved for production would be if it would be indistinguishable to the dtiver from an S Class. I'm not sure they accomplished that, but the later versions with the larger engines and racing suspensions were far closer to that objective than the model demonstrated in this video. Congrats to all who made it to the end of this VERY LONG COMMENT! I hope I didn't bore you too much. 😂❤ Viva Saab!!

That takes me back to some great times. I first met Charles Tippet in 1986. He was racing in the Renault 5 Elf Turbo Uk Cup. He was supported by my then employer Renault Dealer P Baldock & Son of Bracknell Berkshire. I would help out wherever and whenever I could. Charles continued to race the Renault in 1987, Whilst also racing in the Saab Mobil 1 series. I was helping another driver in the 1987 Renault 5 series. The two series were often at the same venue over the season, so I would catch the Saabs as often as possible and catch up with Charles and his family. He missed out on the championship in 1987, but won it the following year. Some years later he owned Causeway Saab in Wiltshire.

As a lover of both brands, I feel this was a fair comparison. The 190E still had its own appeal if it was the car you wanted, but the Saabs did shine pretty brightly, especially in terms of bang for the buck. Saab owners back then were indeed highly educated.
