i really don't know how SAAB weapons are, but I DO know how SAAB built thier cars...backasswards......

never in my life had i had a car or 2 built by them Swedes, that i wished i had set on fire, in the parking lot.

engine/transaxle mounted backwards....or...backasswards.....

does this mean the soldier has to look thru the sight...backwards too...????

I had a Saab. It was a great car. Bought it used too. Never a problem. I thought I was high fallutin’.

SAAB has been making munitions & weapons for a LOT longer than cars,

They make the Swedish Gripen fighter, which is considered one of the best non-US made fighters going.

i think (from my experiences in a garage and dealership, just not a SAAB dealership), they are great for the first 3 to 4 years.

after that, they become a nightmare....parts were only available thru a SAAB dealership, expensive, then came the repairs.

i'd have rather worked on the first versions of POS's Subaru's with front disc brakes, with the built in E-Brake.....

talk about wanting to set a POS car on fire..

1) SAAB
