Jet metal black interior smooth tan.

I'm in Montreal and it had to cross Canada coming from Vancouver. Waited 3
weeks for it.

First option to go in out of car dealer ? Snow tire, we're receiving a
whopping 30 cm (1 foot) of snow also tomorrow !

I hope you also bought another set of tires and wheels with the SportCombi for the winter as well!

I use 16" alloys with my winter tires for my 2004 USA 9-3 Aero.  No
sense in trashing the summer 17" alloys.  I thought that since the car
is so good looking it was worth buying a set of winter alloys.

You know, there was a time when 'too much snow' meant that every SAAB driver in town was out and about looking for something slippery to show off in.. :) ..

Merry Christmas.

Not just SAAB drivers.  I have many fond memories from the '70's of
driving my little '67 MGB (Brittish Racing Green of course) around on
nights when the snow was flying and the plows hadn't made it out yet.  I
had a set of tire chains that I would slap over the bias ply rears and
that little car was a little tractor.  What a blast to slide around...

Come to think of it...  there's never *too much snow*.  Just too many
other cars on the road that are out of control.  ;-)

It's our 3rd 9-3. The first one (mid 90's) didn't had the ESP option and it
was quite fun to let it go. the 2003 has it and you can't slide it or move
it with the anti-skid. Not a 4x4 but not far.

I test drove the Combi with the V6 and ... man ! no more lag. Seems to me
that they got a good V6 for a change in there.

You must be a true visionary, living in the future, since the 9-3 did
not come-out until '99.    It was a 900 in the mid '90's  ;-)

Montreal? Nice! Me too.

This is what my 90 900 Turbo looked like at 15h00.

Just a little snow? There is a point where the front bumper becomes a
snow plow.  Ground clearance is more important.  My Saab 900 was buried
in the hospital parking lot a years ago when we got 3 feet of snow.  I
had the "opportunity" to work 48 hours staight.  Fortunately I made no
mistakes - important since I was in the OR then.  My father had a full
size Ford Bronco. It easily drove through the unplowed roads - because
you also needed a ladder to get in the truck :-)
