Hi all! We have been experiencing an issue on site where threads have been missing the latest postings. The platform host Vanilla are working on this issue. A workaround that has been used by some is to navigate back from 1 to 10+ pages to re-sync the thread and this will then show the latest posts. Thanks, Mike.

    The latest news from this interesting deal. It's not done and dusted by any stretch of the imagination.

    Fiat were trying to get that for Alfa, but it never materialised...

    I heard some rumours years ago that the 159 (or its successor) was going to be RWD. So that's related then? I can see how Alfa would want to take a share of the market away from BMW (even Merc and Lexus) by offering RWD, but I can't see RWD as a great benefit for Saabs though. Classic Saabs (i.e. original 900 turbo) were FWD and that didn't bother owners in the least.
