If there were one car that I could ask Saab to remake. The one vehicle that I would love to see in production again is the Saab 9-3 Viggen. This hatchback brought fresh alternative choice to the German dominated segment. When the Saab 9-3 Viggen first introduced it had a 2.3 turbo four-cylinder with 225hp. Then it was upgraded to 230hp before it was discontinued. It had a four-cylinder engine that made it both fuel efficient and fun to drive. Although the front-wheel drive configuration made it torque steer like a boxer trying to turn on a lamp switch with boxing gloves on. This in my opinion is one of the best Saabs hands down. It came in a three-door, five-door and convertible body styles. It was one of the sportiest Saabs since the 900 turbo. Saab please bring back the Viggen. It wouldn't hurt to turbocharged the 2.3 liter range and add direct injection to pump out 300hp. A true Saab loyalist knows that a Saab isn't a Saab with a six-cylinder.
