Day-by-Day Review: 2010 Hyundai Genesis Coupe 3.8GT; Day 3
So the Genesis Coupe isn't the most practical sports car around, says James, but what really matters here is how the car drives. And it's in that department that this car really shines, he says.

Best line I have ever read on CanadianDriver:

"This is the wagon as art, from the same people who have brought us car designs that appear to have been penned by Salvador Dali on an absinthe bender."

Saabs are so cool.  They're utter crap by anything resembling an objective standard, but they are so cool.

SAABs are cool      GM Opels with SAAB badges are very uncool.

I owned a 1978 SAAB 99  and a 1981 SAAB 900 Turbo   both of which were real SAABs and were very good cars by the standards of the time.

We get a lot of people who still ask us about our Saab, maybe because the wagon versions are fairly rare.

I have a 2002 9-3, the last model year before the GM merge.

I love the look of Saab - even this model is quickly identified as Saab.

Amen brother.

Given the aviation connection, I've really, really tried to like Saabs (the cars)...they just don't do it for me anymore.
