It is a GLE as guessed. It is currently undergoing restoration. The grey-ish looking one, dark blue originally, in the many pictures is mine. It is a GLE as guessed.

As Fiat also owned Lancia, that would explain things somewhat. If you look carefully, you can even see some Fiat technology introduced on Saab 99s part way through the model run - presumably after the deal was done.

That will allowed saab to get a AWD long before the turboX.

Here you could fine the power/manual combination on some cars just few years ago ... I think previous version of Audi A4 ( in base trim ) sold here was without power windows in the back...

I know theres the FWD and AWD difference, one of the funniest features was the power windows in front and manual in the rear.
