I reckon Enzo Ferrari got it succinctly right when he said the E-type Jaguar was " The most beautiful car in the world".
I know I wish I still had my 68 roadster, I'd swap my 928S in a heartbeat for an E-type, period.!
Soft spot for the 80s Turbo Saab 900s anyone? I had a few of these cars....it is perhaps the most difficult car to photograph and capture its strange beauty. You almost need to walk around one to appreciate its lines.
I should have kept the 5 speed 1989 in polar white with aluminum hubcaps and moonroof. 1980 Turbo 900

I had a 1983 base 900 in college.
This was after my dad had a brand-new 1986 SPG. Holy smokes, what a car.
The two cars could not be more different, performance-wise. But there was a lot to like about those 900s, regardless of turbo/ suspension tweaks. Very comfortable. Nice instrumentation, and cabin layout. So much visibility. So much cargo room.
Great cars. Too bad GM ruined that brand.
Cheers
Dave, that is one beautiful car. The one thing that it almost immediately insprired in my mind was the image of it with a clear plexiglas retractable top. The other thing is that I like it even with the MGB grill.. WTF?

It is a work of art... And outrageously ostentatious!
A better shot of the grill....
A clear top would have been sweet... But they got the lines right... IMO.
I rest my case...the 928 is a beautiful, elegant, shapely design.
It doesn't need all the flashy appendages to stand out.
Still as beautiful today as it was when it first came out.
Yesterday we had our monthly 928 breakfast here in Dallas. Friendly waves and thumbs up and when I stopped for gas, several compliments and 2 people that were also putting in gas walked around the car checking it out while I was inside getting things. That is probably the coolest experience of all...them checking it out when they think the owner isn't watching from inside the store. I was in the Subway portion of the store waiting on them to make my sub, so just happened to glance outside. Hey I like to look at it too

My late father sold Saabs for 43 years. I have owned more than 30 myself and I have a very hard time to see what I will drive as a daily once my cars are to old. I currently have a 2010 9-3 Aero, 1994 9000 Aero and a 1962 two stroke. Ofcoarse being Swedish I am somewhat partial but SAAB was the best 🙂❤️🇸🇪
