I just sold off my 9-2x (WRX on the inside) because of what appears to be an identical issue. I wasn't about to go deal with a bankrupt company with a dealership in trouble when they couldn't fix it when they were healthier. Its pretty gross to smell gas on the first 5 minutes of your drive. Check our Raw Fuel Smell on the NASIOC or 9-2x forums.
Give everyone iPhones. We'll microtransaction our way to prosperity.
Please be my last minute entry!
Don't believe the lies! The supposed HDMI NXE patch released in February just RRoD'ed hundreds of XBoxes. See XBox forums for the graphic details spanning at least two major threads
Not to belabor the point but you're talking about a month where GM has slashed all prices to absurdly low levels just to get cash.

I'm not saying the Saab is a bad car. Its just not something that excites me at MSRP nor as a former Saab fan. GM wouldn't be trying to get rid of it if they had done a good job maintaining the brand either.
My opinions are opinions for sure. Maybe I'm biased since I have such fond memories of my family's pre-rebadging 900s. But the market seems to agree with me. Its not upscale enough to compete with the luxury brands, nor is it quirky enough to satiate the Saab loyalists, if many exist any more.
Whoops. Don't get the new commenting system.. see my comment down below. By gussied up Chevy I mean the 9-7X which was being laughed at in the service shop. By subaru, I mean the 9-2X which I own only because of its extended warranty and being many thousands less than the equivalent WRX at the time of purchase.
2009 with 100 miles on it. And I'm not talking about quality of drivetrain or other worn down parts. I'm talking about the uber cheap overhead light plastic, the inane pedal position, the 3 second lag on manual shifts in sport mode, the useless cupholders, and the in speedometer menu system that is about as hazardous as they come.

Even my family's old 1998 900 felt better than this car. I don't know who would possibly cross shop this car with a 3 series, C class or TL. Anyone who has fond memories of the old 900 has had them set afire with GM's incompetence.
And GM wonders why they can't get buyers for Saab? They have to stop deluding themselves in believing that Saab is a premium brand when they're trying to sell gussied up chevys, opals, and subarus. As someone who just drove a 9-3 loaner for the past week, its pretty crummy on the inside as well.
The dirtiest hostel in europe I can find.
Let the hive mind of Engadget get that for you.
"I just switched to Sprint from Verizon about three months ago for the Pre. Then I went for the Hero about a week ago. Now, I miss my hardware keyboard and am thinking about switching to the Moment. I am still able to switch back to Verizon if I want and get the Droid when it arrives. Should I just trade up to the Moment when it comes out, see if I like it, and if not switch to the Droid? Or something else entirely? Help!"
