I read in a book about fluid simulation that the boxy shape of the Volvo 240 was the result of a bug in the wind tunnel simulator they used, causing it to report less drag for the the boxy shape.
Maybe urban myth, but keeps popping up when I see them around town.
You're right... but as soon as you drive one of those saabs you realize just how wrong you actually are. Its the most beautiful ugly car I've ever had.
Ditto. They look super cool to my eye. I'm thinking about pulling the trigger on the smaller 40 model (if I can overcome my complete terror of spending money on things). The only thing that sucks is their all touch infotainment system. It is unintuitive, clunky, and so laggy (and ugly!). Just getting a phone paired took my gf and I a few minutes of awkwardly stabbing at the screen trying to figure out which swipe would lead us down the right path. It's pretty much impossible to use while driving. Most of the stuff I've test driven the last few weeks follows the same all-touch or mostly-touch setup. So, it kinda seems like something you just have to put up with these days
