Subie Scoop: 1994 Saab 9000 CDE Turbo
The Saab 9000 was built on the Type Four platform, which Saab shared with Alfa Romeo, Fiat, and Lancia on the 164, Croma, and Thema, respectively. It was not, however, shared with Subaru, so the addition of a rhino horn 2004 STI hood scoop is somewhat jarring at first glance, but maybe makes more sense when you consider that Subaru did later partner with Saab to make the 9-2X. The scoop can be removed, but those wheels need to stay. Find this 1994 Saab 9000 CDE Turbo offered for $6000 in Broomfield, CO via craigslist. Tip from Zach.

Original Swedish built SAAB! Going up for sale is my beloved SAAB 9000 CDE. A rather rare model. In terrific shape. $1000’s invested. Purrs like a kitten. Prefer SAAB enthusiasts or 5-star safe drivers. This is a great machine. Incredibly sturdy, comfortable, reliable and many others. Please contact me for an appt. Reasonable offers encouraged.
I still contend that Saab is the only manufacturer to effectively pull off good-looking 3 spoke wheels.
How about the 1st gen RX-7 wheels that looked like a Wankel tri-lobe rotor?
Generally agree with you re Saab wheels though. In addition to those Aero wheels there are “hammerhead†and “Klingon†variants. Maybe those two are the same ¯_(ツ)_/¯ and I believe there’s a 3-spoke “neo-Inca†or something like that.
Mine are “snowflakes†which is three wide spokes alternating with three narrow ones. Unusual and very cool 😎
