[NTLK] Cars that should get you automatic membership

[Dennis Swaney]

Then just make sure you buy one from BEFORE GM took over SAAB in 1989. I
always wanted Sonnett III with the V4.

BTW, SAAB 9-3 production started up again in September and December 2013,
albeit limited to 1,000 cars since the 9-3 doesn't meet Euro safety rules.
