Today's Saab 900

[TheInternet]

What is it? The car for today's beturtlenecked designers and architects. It's probably an EV, but ICE answer more welcome.

They ride bikes now.

Volvo / Polestar?

[alabbasi]

Subaru seems to be the choice

This.

Restomod Saab 900.

Tesla... everybody has a tesla now.

Polestar was my first thought. Tesla four years ago maybe but the wrong brand now. Restomods too car nerdy. E-bikes yes.

Keep them coming.

Either way it keeps the Chinese factories busy.

The big Kia or Hyundai ev, quite stylish, quite separate, shows independent thought and choice

Nobody is buying Subaru's, they have had months where their UK sales were in double digits.

Probably Volvo's, particularly as they got less lame just as SAAB went pop. Maybe the odd Mazda, they're about as "left field" as anyone dares to be anymore.

[...]

Alfa Romeo Giulia? Seems to be left-field from the norm

Lexus IS maybe at a push (do they still make them?)

In a similar vein, what does Mr Audi 90 drive these days? Is he in an A5, or has he deserted the brand?

Shouldn't have stopped making diesel Outbacks and Forresters.

Was there any real evidence that lots of architects drove Saabs, as dentists were purported to ? The myth was endorsed by Clarkson. If Home Counties based they will feel a need to appear green and may have a Polestar or a conventional ICE car but also a small EV for commuting. Perhaps the PH types will have a TVR, a Lotus7 or a Caterham tucked away in Sevenoaks or Tonbridge!
