DESCRIPTION:
SAAB. A RESPONSIBLE CAR THAT PERFORMS. SAAB. A PERFORMANCE CAR THAT’S RESPONSIBLE.
As opposed to a performance car that performs. Or a responsible car that’s responsible.
For Saab, single-mindedness is no virtue.
On the other hand, consider the value of doublemindedness:
When you experience the goose bump - inducing acceleration of a Saab, you have room to share it with a wife and two kids and a year’s supply of groceries.
When you fill up the tank, you can look forward to great gas mileage. (The most powerful Saab gets better fuel economy than that old mileage champ, the Volkswagen Super Beetle). You can look forward to it because the car you’re driving isn’t boring. It isn’t a mollycoddling compromise put together for a presentation to the Environmental Protection Agency.
Having thrown out those boasts, Saab would like to back off a little and admit the world hasn’t greeted it with unanimous accolades.
Either-Or.
Either you find the performance of a Saab exhilarating
Or the sociologist in you comes out and pronounces it excessive.
Either you determine Saab’s steering to be a tight,
responsive, unifying element between your hands and the wheels.
Or you yearn for squishy power steering that tacitly says you’re not really driving the car; you’re merely pointing it.
Either you look at this chart and say, “Pretty good numbers.”
Or you look the other way and declare yourself, “Not a numbers man.”

Either you assess the Saab Turbo’s Automatic Performance Control as an improvement on all other turbos, a true breakthrough that lets you go faster on less fuel.
Or you look at it as just another piece of engineering esoterica.
Either you consider Road & Track's designation of Saab (“Sports Sedan for the Eighties”) as a carefully weighed judgment by a group of editors who have seen them all come and go over the years.
Or you dismiss it as hype by a cult of car nuts.
Either you apply everything you know about economics to the sticker and realize the perfect balance between price and value.
Or you conclude it’s outrageously expensive. Or too cheap to bear repeating at the country club.
The car you need vs. the car you want.
For every other car we can think of, those two concepts are also either-or.
Either you opt for utility and practicality and economy and durability and have your needs satisfied.
Or you go for performance and comfort and styling and have your wants satiated.
Of course, it is our biased contention that the 1983 Saab is both the car you need and the car you want.
If you test drive a Saab and love it, our guess is that it will be a love fully requited in the years ahead.
If you test drive a Saab and you’re not enthralled, all you’ll be out is the time it takes to feel the acceleration, to luxuriate in the seats, and to learn what a real driving experience is.
The guarantee is that you won’t be indifferent.
SAAB - The most intelligent car ever built.
