Andyjo Posted May 21, 2006 Share Posted May 21, 2006 Was one ever built? And where did this picture come from? And...and... I want one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keltik Posted May 21, 2006 Share Posted May 21, 2006 Hmm, it looks kinda like a photo-chopped Volvo C-70. +1 KELTIK Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SakoTGrimes Posted May 21, 2006 Share Posted May 21, 2006 Looks like a Photoshopped Saab to me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Rogers Posted May 21, 2006 Share Posted May 21, 2006 Looks like a Photoshopped Saab to me considering that GM has (or had) a 20% stake in FHI and they have heavy stakes in SAAB I can see a bit of merit in that statement. similar idea was hatched with the impreza years ago. and yes I would like mine in black please.

fastwgn286 Posted May 21, 2006 Share Posted May 21, 2006 i dunno, the lines look kinda audi-ish to me (like the new a4 cabrio...) i found this view that looks a little better (at least it has the right tail lights and stuff...) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andyjo Posted May 21, 2006 Author Share Posted May 21, 2006 Now yall' have got me thinking... it doesn't seem like it would be THAT hard to make one.... just a little sawzall action here & there.. some paint maybe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Legacy777 Posted May 21, 2006 Share Posted May 21, 2006 That second pic is definitely a photochop. You can see the difference in the color/shadowing between the front and rear. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nipper Posted May 21, 2006 Share Posted May 21, 2006 Now yall' have got me thinking... it doesn't seem like it would be THAT hard to make one.... just a little sawzall action here & there.. some paint maybe and a lot of body reinforcement if you dont want the windsheild to pop out or the car to fold in half...... kinda of embarising when that happens. nipper Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peterf Posted May 21, 2006 Share Posted May 21, 2006 it's a saab. look at the pic on this link: http://www.epinions.com/2004_Saab_9_3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fastwgn286 Posted May 21, 2006 Share Posted May 21, 2006 yeah, defintely a saab trunk on the black one. i know the beige one is photoshoped, but the black one is too, so....yeah. andy, it might not be that hard to do. top gear cut the roof off of a renault espace (english minivan thing, looks like a hemmroid...) and it worked brillantly. just gotta chose the right car. might not work on a subaru....

Andyjo Posted May 21, 2006 Author Share Posted May 21, 2006 i suppose when i have a 'real' job, and have enough $$ to actually buy a car that nice... and afford to chop it up, i may give it a try.. but i'm going to have to say.. that'll be quite some time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
