I noticed that "blondee_yvr" is in Canada. The Canadian LX and Si sedans
have ABS.

Don't.

I'm in the UK, but as a Current classic Saab owner, and soon to be
generation 4 Prelude owner, I hear so many horror stories from US
forum/Newsgroup people who own Saabs and domestic US cars, and jap cars.

The Jap and Saab owners are happy, with Saab weirdness, and jap
reliability.
The domestic and Saab owners all state how much better Saab is than US
domestic, but long for the reliability of Jap cars to go with the
longevity of Saabs.

Euro cars like saab and VW etc can be odd. But having learned to drive a
stick, I don't understand how you could consider going back to a
slushmatic, you think you roll back bad now, try it with a slush box.

You just need to learn a little more clutch control, and get on the bite
before releasing the brake or parking/emergency brake.

Sounds like you need to look at the Scion tC. It's a new coupe that's
smokin' hot right now. Looks wise, it's awesome and from the feedback
I've read so far, it's the whole enchilada, looks and performance
combined. With a price around $17K that's not negotiable, it's selling
like hot cakes.

Its standard features are lengthy, and the add on list is also long.
But, if you're looking for 4 door, the tC won't cut it. It's only made
in a 2 door coupe style hatchback.

Check out the car and its accessories at www.edmunds.com

SAAB is practically domestic. It's owned by GM and shares many GM parts.

Scion is not available in Canada, where "blondee_yvr" resides.

You drive a Civic or Corolla? Don't be offended dude, it's just my
preference and my opinion. If you are happy with the aesthetics with
your car, great and good for you. It's just not my style. It doesn't
mean I am right, it just my opinion. As far as wanting an automatic?
Well, it's a lot less stress for me in the city during rush hour.

I hear ya. With my TDI, I dont need to use the handbrake. The car has
enough torque to handle most hills but sometimes I need to be hard on
the clutch in the hills. I don't like it and that stresses me out. In
general, I am one of those people that can easily get stressed out,
