Thunderbolt from Finland: 2000 Saab 93 Viggen

This next car comes as a tip from Johnny Bouncewell who writes: Man, I don't NEED another Viggen but this one sure is tempting.  Right number of doors, OEM wheels, and the proper six speed transmission.  Yes JB, you are correct, the combination of a 2.3 liter turbo-4 boosted to 230 horsepower is cool, but only 138 examples of the 3-door made it into the USA for the 2000 MY (764 over the 5 year model span)...so it is cool and rare.

Almost Gold: 2001 SAAB 9-3 Viggen

The Christian feast of the Epiphany is celebrated on January 6th, (the word Epiphany comes from the ancient Greek work Τheophaneia meaning "vision of God") and is a commemoration of the three Magi visiting the infant Jesus.  Around here we celebrate the Epiphany by posting 3 cars, one for each of the magi, next up is Melchior who brought a gift of gold..but unfortunately all I could find is silver...which is close enough for a baby who is probably going to play with the packaging and the bubble wrap and couldn't tell the difference between gold and silver or a Viggen and an Aero.

Boost me to heaven- 2000 Saab 9-3 Viggen Convertible

Born from jets was the Saab marketing tagline of this era.  The Viggen model was supposed to be a BMW E36 M3 competitor.  The serious torque steer the car developed gave the Viggen a somewhat dubious reputation in performance car circles.  Prices on the classic Saab 900's have already started to increase, but the steep depreciation on these 9-3's make them very affordable.  Find this 2000 Saab 9-3 Viggen Convertible for sale in Larchmont, NY for only $1,300 via craigslist.

5k: Nordic Nomenclature: 2001 Saab 9-3 Viggen five-door

General Motors' top strategy during its mismanagement of Saab was parlaying the company's jet history into a vague aeronautic brand association. It doesn't add up: a logo that features a mythical winged beast (not showing its wings), and a home country with an air force 1.5% the size of America's (according to Global Firepower, a website that feels the way an army surplus store smells). This is especially true for the Viggen, so named for Saab's 37 Viggen "Thunderbolt" fighter jet. But whether it's named after a thunderbolt or a deadbolt, the 9-3 Viggen came with an upgraded engine and suspension and was one of the dearly departed company's most special offerings.
