A V4 engine in a car?!, never knew one was made.
It is pretty cool looking though I like it.

Lancia (Fulvia), Ford (Corsair, Taunus), a Russian thing called a ZAZ Zaporozhets, all used V4s. Oh, and the Le Mas-winning Porsche 919.

Probably many others - not an exhaustive list.

I just didn’t really know about them being used in cars, it’s been a very popular and good design in motorcycles though, I can’t attest to that!.

Randomly I have noticed these Saabs in the background of two different films.

One is Jack Reacher and the other if I remember is one of the Bourne films. (Changed my mind there).

Spooky. Just seen one in an episode of Midsomer Murders.

Lovely looking car. I like the stance. My dad had 2 96's when i was a lad and i hated them back then but now I would love to have one. My first ever time behind the wheel was in one. I was 13 and my dad let me drive on the beach. The column change was actually quite easy to use. They were also very good in the snow. While everyone else was getting stranded in their Cortinas my dad could always get us up the very steep driveway to school.(probably why I hated them lol)
