Yes, I remember the Enduro, MO. When the first Turbo came out, it really was the performance car to have. And they kept getting faster. I was involved in a four car comparison for Wheels with a Saab, Volvo 740 Turbo, BMW 528i and Brock Commodore. In this context the Brockmobile felt like a ruffian and the boot wouldn't stay open because of the heavy wing (but no re-rated gas strut!), and the Volvo was slow. We gave the nod to the Bee-Emm in the end because of its all-round excellence and refinement (as I recall) but the Saab was the real performance machine and I loved it. As for the GM Saabs, I doubt any of them will be collectible. The very first 900 Turbo looked great in metallic green, but I just love this solid red. The car is a Carlsson special variant, similar to the car sold locally as the 900 Aero.
