Didn't those share a platform with the Saab 9000?

The cool thing about that older Saab at the auction was that it was a Saab through-and-through. Porsche used VW parts, Ferraris had Fiat door handles, but back then, Saabs were Saabs.

I'm sure that's boosting its value.

Yep, 164 and Lancia Thema are related to the Saab 9000.

Saab was in a bad spot for a long time, but GM taking the Saab out of Saab certainly sealed its fate.

The 164 in L trim was a great looking car. The S with the tacked on skirts, not so much.

9000 FWD turbo combined severe turbo lag and torque steer and ended up being a car that repeatedly tried to kills its owner.

Oddly, that's kinda cool.

I saw an '06 E90 325xi w/ Xenons & some other goodies. 42K miles. Asking price $16,499. Not too shabby!

Remember those kind of days as a kid when the city came to plow the streets out. Our driveway was a straight incline down with the 2 car garage on the right...eventually we had it widened out on the left side so the folks didn't have to back out onto any grass, why the builder didn't do this is a mystery. We had a gardener who also plowed us out during the winter as my dad had to travel into either New York City or Ridgefield New Jersey. That driveway was a bear and if it was iced just right...no one was getting up it. The folks finally drove a Toronado and an Eldorado for the front wheel drive capabilities. My mother was a particularly good driver and snow never bothered her...she could get anywhere...and I mean anywhere!
