[b]Rating[/b]: 5 out of 5 stars As a SAAB owner, I was curious about the book and enjoyed learning about those of us who are SAAB enthusiasts. From the first one I owned, a 9-3 Convertible, I knew instinctively this was my car. It was refreshing to read in the book that indeed, there are people who are SAAB people and, conversely, people who are not. My husband is one who is not, and when we first saw my first SAAB, when I told him that was what I wanted, he insisted that no, I didn't. One test drive behind the wheel was all it took. Reading this book helped me understand and perhaps put into words much of how I feel as a SAAB owner. It was fascinating to learn the history of the car I love so much, even though people would now say I don't own a "true SAAB", being on my third one which is a 2008. Still, My 9-3 was the car of my heart, much as is explained by Mr. Cole in this book. It helped me understand why I feel as I do toward my car and it put into words much of what I've been trying..

This is a wonderfully illustrated publication full to the brim of colour photographs and descriptions/histories of many unusual vehicles and some not so unusual. Lance Cole has excelled once again, a fantastic addition to any vintage car enthusiasts’ collection.
