Saab 9000

The Saab 9000 is an automobile that was produced by the Swedish company Saab from 1984 to 1997. The 9000 was replaced by the 9-5 in the late 1997.Saab based the 9000 on the Type Four platform shared with the Fiat Croma, Lancia Thema, and Alfa Romeo 164. The Croma and Thema are outwardly similar to the 9000 while the 164 shares only the chassis. Much of the bodywork appeared interchangeable between the 9000, Croma and Thema; for example, the doors. However, because Saab fitted heavier side impact protection they will not fit.Only seven different parts are actually interchangeable.The 9000's body was designed by Giorgetto Giugiaro and Björn Envall of SAAB .Despite being shorter overall than the 900, the 9000 had a longer wheelbase and a great deal of interior space, and was the first vehicle imported to the United States to be classed as a "large car" by the EPA. Unlike the 900, the 9000 kept the ignition switch in the more conventional steering column position rather than between the front seats.
