Saab 9000 - strict Swedish car with fighter dynamics
It is often said that some cars have a soul. Of course, all this is poetry, but it must be admitted that modern models have lost their individuality. The cars are similar to each other - there is nothing to catch the eye. But it was not always so. From the mid-80s to the late 90s, brands tried to stand out. Cars were recognized by their characteristic design and "signature" features. And not only external, but also technical. "Golden Age" for automakers. Therefore, many are still staring at old cars. They have a style called soul.
But even against the backdrop of the diversity of the 80s and 90s, Saab models stand out. I wouldn’t say that they are beauties – it’s more of an acquired taste, but there is definitely an inner strength in their appearance. Especially considering the fact that the manufacturer began its career in aviation, and military aviation at that. By the way, Saab still makes aircraft - this automobile division went bankrupt and closed. Saabs from the 80-90s were distinguished not only by their design. The interior was somewhat reminiscent of a fighter cockpit. And under the hoods of many modifications, turbocharged engines were installed, and not only diesel ones. The author of the channel "Vladimir Melnikov" will tell about one of the now rare Saab 9000.
