1991 Saab 900 SPG
Sweden's quirkiest automaker, Saab, made many wonderful cars before its untimely death at the hands of GM's bankruptcy. During the 1980s, one of those wonderful cars Saab produced was the 900, which looked like a pixelated representation of a Porsche 911 on a late 80s digital display. The "Special Performance Group" AKA "SPG" moniker represented the most performance-focused 900s.
This example comes from 1991, the last year of the Saab SPG. That year, only 254 were imported to the U.S. and only 109 were in Beryl Green, according to the seller. Power came from a turbocharged 4-cylinder through a 5-speed manual and front-wheel-drive.
What makes a 900 SPG so desirable? We at Burbbble can't quite place a finger on it. Maybe it is the neat factory-installed driving lights or the performance-inspired slits and vents that make you take it more seriously, even for a front-wheel-drive Swedish hatchback. Whatever the case, these are slowly creeping up in price, so keep an eye out for deals while they're still out there.
