1) It is younger than its terminally rust-prone counterparts.
2) It has got a specific rump which could have been designed by Picasso in his cubist days.
3) It will actually get you there when you’re planning a trip to Tuscany.
4) It was endorsed by Samantha Fox in her pre-lesbo days.
5) It is widely despised by hardcore “Alfistis”.
6) It will never be considered an 80’s icon.
7) The fuel injected variant produces an engine note similar to a Hoover vacuum cleaner, magnificiently corroborating the French saying “aspirateur à minettes” (that roughly translates into “girl magnet”).
8.) Most passers-by still regard it as an ultra cool sixties sportscar.
9) Even though it should officially be described as a “Spider Series III”, adepts refer to it with the ice-cool moniker of “Aerodinamica”.
10) It still looks substantially like the car Dustin Hoffman used in “The Graduate”.
C’est aussi un aspirateur à “jeunots”
Thanks God it’s not a Saab 900 - #1 disgusting 80′ design on my list.
oh c’mon, sorry but you can’t compare a 900 with a Spider…
I like both, but one is a “weekend” car and the other one an everyday “workhorse”… and not a disgusting one at all! A well maintained 900 (especially the Aero model) becomes more and more stylish day by day!
Tend to agree with AG. The classic SAAB 900 in Turbo or convertible guise is an extremely stylish piece of kit.
