Ahhhh Doc, you're missing out if you cross the SAAB off your list. Bought a '08 9.3 vert last April and love it. Not a daily (Civic for that) but great touring car when wx cooperates.

Modern SAABs, apparently, have Vauxhall running gear. Maybe that qualifies them as LBCs?

That's a step up, Steve! Time was, IIRC, they used Triumph TR-7 mills...

Not sure if it's Vauxhall but sure is fun to drive. That little 2 litre lump puts out a strong 225 hp. Owner's manual says the computer starts to limit turbo boost at 153 mph. I haven't actually tested that myself though.
