The Saab was THE car to be seen in if you were up and coming during the
80's here. Then the gen X kids started to have kids and remembered how
great those ads voiced by Donald Sutherland were. Also, for some
reason, the Subaru became a political statement of ones gender
preference.
There are a number of really great shape Saabs at PnP. No idea what
killed them. No rust, nice interior, no crash damage, just ... end of
the road?

Huh, when I lived in Seattle 10+ years ago I drove a Saab (a 1980
normally aspirated 900 5-door, RIP) and saw lots of others. Of course
the latter may have something to do with the fact that mine spent a
lot of time at the two well-known Saab repair shops on the west
side---R & H on Aurora Ave, and Saabmasters somewhere up in Greenwood,
IIRC. I always thought an old Saab was an ideal Seattle car,
actually. With the FWD and heavily front-biased weight distribution
you never had trouble starting on hills. (I guess a Subaru with the
hill-holder would be good too.)
