This year, Saab introduced a very limited edition 9-3 that is a throw-back to the 1985 Saab 900 SPG, a classic coupe known for its trademark black exterior treatment, three-arm alloys, and turbo engine.

Uber-geeks (venture capitalists) should skip over this and go directly to the Audi R8 featured here last week. The R8 is a geek’s dream due in small part to its exclusivity (the best geek will buck the status quo, and pull it off with class!) and in larger part to the white LEDs that accent [...]
