Why don't you [or any tuner magazines] feature any Saabs?  
Scattered throughout the pages of your magazine you advertise products for and have articles about Scion, Subaru, and Saturn??, but not Saab.  i got my Saab for 7000 with good mileage, it's a fun turbo car, and stock it beats a lot of cars out there.  There are many nice Saabs on the road, you should put one in the magazine.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't Saab owned by GM? I've always thought of it as more of an upper-class domestic than an import, but I guess domestic fans consider it more of an import because of it's Swedish background.

You may want ton consider eurotuner or one of the other magazines published by Primedia. Super Street focuses on japanese imports, although they have been known to make exceptions for certain events and specialty vehicles.

UUUHHH... YEAH! "D" is right, it is a GM product with a Swede past! Any way, they are actually nice looking cars but it kinda' lost it's import status when GM swiped them up. They've improved by leaps and bounds since the merger! But it is just a domestic...

thats true, and they are considered upscale, but they're as affordable as many of the cars in the mag, especially when used.  they're also made by GM but they still have headquarters and roots in sweden

I don't knock on Saab, I think that it's actually a classy car division. And they do have some neck wrenching torque to them, considering the model being driven. But as far as getting it to be on an import magazine, that's another subject. I haven't seen one built at all. Sure you can get some pretty cool accessories  to make them look cool and GM also has a sport division for them. European models get all those cool sports stuff but we never get what they get over there. I'm actually impartial, what ever gets me to work and back reliably, at this point, will suffice. Looks aren't bad either.
