Sometimes,eingdifferents hepriceof beingbetter.Saabs re different.There are, in fact, peoplewho buy Saabslargelyfor that reason.They relish the feel-ing of driving a car that looks and performs

differently llom ordinary cars.But that isn't why Saabsare different.They are different because Saabhonors atradition of finding original solutions o thechallenges f personal ransportation.Thattradition has ts roots in the 1940s,whena smallgroup of Swedishengineers nddesigners urned from building someofEurope'smost advancedmilitary aircraftto carmaking.Even oday, Saab's utomotive engineers continue to draw on thetechnical esourcesof the company'smili-lary andcommercial ircraltdivisions.Saab's ngineers nd designers ontinueto find their own solutions o the challengeof safe,comfortable,practicaland pleasur-ablepersonal ransportation.Saab asalwayscreatedcarswith the intention Gat theywill do everything they are called upon todo superbly. t is this refusal o compro-mise that makesSaabs little different.
