Weve thought long and hard about

the air inside a Saab. We had to.

Because our home-town climate is

pretty extreme.

And

we expect

a lot

of our

cars to be sealed up

tight most of the time.

That s why our ventilation

system

is

the envy

of

Detroit.

We use no less than 2 vents to keep

the

air

circulating properly.

To start with, you can control

both the quantity and direction

of

the air. With the newly designed

vents at the

outer

ends of the dash.

And

your

back seat passengers

can be just as comfortable as you
