I am a big fan of Saab, but have never owned one. The b207s shared a lot of R&D with the GM FI ecotecs, which are screamers (I have one in my sky, somewhere in the ballpark of 330-350hp).

Even in the later GM days, saabs were still quirky -- the 9-5 was remarkably handsome in particular. Don't see too many anymore. A bunch of guys I rallycrossed with were (former, I guess) saab techs and would always bring rally prepped 99s and early 900s, really neat.

Shame they met such a demise, we could use more weirdness in modern cars.
