Saab is no more. Kaput. So is Saturn. I actually regret Saab going under, I’ve rented 9-3 convertibles and they’re nice cars, very solid, nice techie features, love the aircraft-inpired dash with the instrument check style light-up, blink blink blink one by one. Ignition in the console, seems like the switch would eventually fill with debris, but the weight of dangling keys isn’t going to ever wear it out or cause the ignition lock to engage inadvertently.
If I was certain that parts and service would remain affordable and accessible, I wouldn’t mind having a 9-3 convertible. Resale values are off considerably since they shut down, but they’re still very nice cars, I prefer the last of the previous generation body style, 2003 or so. Make mine a Viggen.
Saab Automobile Parts, based in Detroit, has parts and service centers. I’m sorry to see Saab cars go away. Upscale but smaller csedans are a real weakness for me.
