Not so long ago, the name Saab was not synonymous with sexy. Then, all of a sudden this “other” Swedish car company started telling the public it was “Born From Jets” and upping the sex appeal. Now we’ve spotted this British website for the Saab 9-3 BioPower Convertible, and we’re practically ready to find the nearest Tri-State dealership. The intro’s majestic soundtrack and car shushing down the slopes like a canary-yellow James Bond has piqued our interest. Apparently this “year round” convertible is one of the first flex-fuel vehicles from Saab. As you all now know, this means that the car can either run of off your run-of-the-mill peak oil gasoline, or E85, the ethanol-mixed gas (for debatable science, look here). But, as as we sit here in our organic, pesticide-free cotton, fair-trade, living wage boxer shorts, we can help but imaging dropping this soft top in less than 20 seconds and taking some hairpin turns on an Alpine road. So, good job Saab marketing team.
