Well, I actually got two of them wrong (not familiar with Hermes, so I guessed Italy. Thought Nokia was Swedish). The thing that surprises me most is that the overwhelming majority of respondents of the survey thought that the U.S. makes quality goods, even more than Germany! The bad news for SAAB (at least in the U.S. market as I’m guessing this was a survey solely of U.S. college students) is that less than half think quality goods come from Sweden and Mexico (soon to be the origin of the 9-4X) is really badly ranked. Maybe it’s a good thing these college students (who within around 10 years will be in SAAB’s key demographic, I’m guessing) think that SAAB is German…

The last of the 93 5 (or 3) doors, preferably in Aero spec of course. A modern classic in my view.

Failing that, you could get an early 95 Aero but i’ll have a lot more kms as you say. Plus, the 2002 upgrade was pretty significant I belive.

Then again, buy a 900 thats on its last legs & send it to Norway to be customised. $20k should about cover it including shipping.

I got all of the countries right save for Hermes.

I had never heard of Hermes, and thus had no idea it was French.
