The U.S. was the largest market for the 1999 Viggen with only 420 delivered to our market. All cars were Lightning Blue 5 speed 3 door manual transmission cars. 
We sold and serviced this example to one of our Saab collectors who drove it only 10,000 miles in 10 years.  Viggen is Swedish for Thunderbolt. The Saab 37 Viggen is a double-delta-wing fighter jet.
The car named in it's honor also fly. A total of 426 1999 Viggens were delivered to the US and 420 were Lightning Blue 3 door with manual transmissions. .Looking for something unconventional, eccentric? One of only 426 Lightning Blue 9-3 Viggens produced in 1999 for the U.S. Market is currently offered by Swedish. Here's a machine that hides its ignition switch in the cup holder. Here's a machine with a teeny four-cylinder engine hooked up to a turbocharger the size of a Shop-Vac. Here's a little three-door hatchback that looks like no other car on the road. Here's the Saab 9-3 Viggen.

We are dealing with the last of the throwbacks--the last mass-produced passenger vehicle on earth that stays the course, refusing to yield to bourgeois fashion and show-off technology. The 9-3 Viggen is now the latest hot-rod version of the Saab 900 first introduced in 1994, and it now offers an impressive 230 horsepower from its 2.3L turbocharged four-banger that has been a part of the Saab inventory since Eric the Red left for Greenland.

Face it, Saabs are an acquired taste, like single-malt Scotch and reggae. Slip behind the wheel of a Viggen, and find a chair-like leather seat, a chin-high instrument panel and windowsill, and a shifter and ignition switch located in a pit below your right hip. Sniff the distinctive odor of buttery-soft Saab leather, and you can be in only one place on the planet.

It goes not exactly like its Swedish-fighter-plane namesake, but it's plenty quick enough to get it into the high-six-second range from 0 to 60 mph...
