Saabs are pretty awesome and I'm sure a lot of people have a secret love for them but they just don't want to be seen in one.

The 900 Turbo is one of the best ones, IMO. I got a lift in one when I was a kid and I thought it was crazy fast!

Have to agree there, my 900 is silly quick, even though its not one of the faster versions

When going to post office today (in a rush) I noticed a Vento parked outside Jetta and TDI badges as well as a US licence plate tub. Other than that it looked completely original. Could it have been imported from Japan or US? Or the badges and tub were replaced by someone? Hmmm...

I was going to take a picture but it was driving away when I went outside

Well the Vento was always a Jetta in the US so prob just a pointless import. LHD?

I'm very well aware of that. Unfortunately I didn't see if it was LHD or not. Japan and US usually have the same sort of spec though.

US Spec would have had sidelights.

Interesting one, showing the favorite brands per country!

GvidoR

I saw that, I think it shows best selling new cars rather than favorites.

If it was favorites then Lithuania would have BMW and Ireland would have Toyota, imo.

Lithuania would be Audi for sure. Latvia should be BMW :pac:

Not a hope in hell people like Fiats in Lithuania, not a hope.

GvidoR

Latvia could have BMW or VW.

Lithuanians do like their BMW's too.

"Volkswagens and Audis – most popular in the Baltic States
Collecting data about BTA-insured vehicles in Latvia, Lithuania and Estonia, BTA concluded that the most popular vehicle brands with drivers of all three Baltic States are Volkswagen and Audi, invariably so since 2010."

Fiat my ar*e :pac:

My thoughts exactly, but I guess they sold quite a few brand new Fiats there recently.

YbFocus

Sorry yes I mean't best selling

GvidoR

Do you mean the key battery? If yes then no, never went. Should be simple enough to replace the battery though.
In the Alfa they did which was annoying cause it would set off the alarm for some reason.

Everyone, dislike this video :mad:
