Tell me about it... as soon as I found out what she bought I tore into her. I think I made her hate her car like 20 minutes after she bought it.

Trust me... my shame know no bounds.

I drove it the other day in the lightest of drizzles... I *easyed* onto the throttle and the front end started hopping all over the place! I was like "OMGWTFBBQ!!!!" and backed off the throttle. I thought something was broken. Turns out it was just the traction control attempting to get the car moving.

I turned the traction control off and was able to do a wicked, hi-pitched tire screaming right front wheel burn out at 10% throttle. V6 + 4000lbs + FWD + 10 ccs of water on the ground = zero traction. My mom's gonna get herself killed in that thing.

Or you guys can just wait for the Saab version to come out shortly after. I guess swedes can't design cars on their own.

Sure they can, been doing it for decades. Only now their GM daddies say they have to play by corporate rules, which means platform sharing, which means Saab, the former quirky car company that was like the European Subaru, is not really Saab anymore.
