SAAB HAS TWO VIGGENS AND WE DO TOO AND THEY BOTH FLY
We sold and serviced this example 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.

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 and to tie for first in this group from 0 to 100 mph and to be the winner from 0 to 120 mph (where the wonderful Whoopee Cushion turbo shows its muscle).

Once the shifter is...
