  • Bangle is an ugly piece of crap and needs to shave the dead cat off his chin. Goes to show you the obnoxious people behind an obnoxious car brand.

  • Ok, Saab is dead and BMW one of the most profitable companies in the world. Jason Castriota is now selling Chestnuts to Ford workers in Detroit.

  • i love this

  • Saab's dna can be summed up in its motto, "born from jets." Then they made that iconic silver 9-3 hatchback that was so popular. all the cars since then have great turbos and beautiful interiors. a 9-3 can go head to head with an a4 or a cts. And their last concept, the aero x was cutting edge and futuristic. That is saab dna to me.

  • fight fight fight :D

  • Parabens Jason Castriota Discuss.

  • OLD FART BANGLE

  • Bangle speaks honestly about his valid opinions, I just wish he'd be a little more subtle.

  • @dieselboy3004, i agree with you, nothing SAAB ( as we know it) around phoenix. But i would not go so far to say that its missing SAAB's DNA. They gave their first car the look from what they thought at that time would be cutting edge in aerodynamics, what it was. But today we know that the field of aerodynamics is much more compicated, it has to be experomented with. I dont like this phoenix design that much as an end result, but i love the idea an the work behind it.

  • Great question from Chris Bangle. Sorry by I don't see it Jason.

    There is nothing SAAB around PhoeniX. It's missing SAAB's DNA.
