These cars are not "perfectly fine," they're junkyard cars that are given a quick coat of paint and are already mostly stripped. I wouldn't worry about one more thirdgen being put to slaughter, there are plenty of them around.

Im sure they could have been fixed and im sure there will be a time when thirdgens are real rare. Just look how many are neglected that will be going to the junkyard soon.

I'm gonna sign up for one of these missions where they want you to wreck the Camaro, and then right in the middle of the mission I'll rip off my blindfold, hit the passenger eject button, do some donuts, and drive off into the sunset saving the Camaro.

Hopefully the frames were cracked and all useable parts were either gone or destroyed.

Plus, our cars all just got a little more rare. Good thing or bad?

ive seen them trash second gen camaros before. always camaros though, never even a bird...

maybe the car will become more valuable b/c of its tv exposure? just trying to be optimistic.

saab is actually GM

eh they can get these cars cheap, paint them yellow and they look like nice sports cars. What do you want them to do? Grab and ugly *** mustang and paint it yellow? it would look like grandma's car.

I can only see it somewhat as a compliment..i hate seeing them get destroyed, but they have to choose them for a reason...they're durable, cheap, and handle/perform well

Oh come on now...Saab's aren't that bad... Anymore.

Check out the new 9-2x....it's the Saabaru! If only it wasn't a damned wagon. The 9-3 linear isn't bad either.

http://www.saabusa.com/saabjsp/92x/index.jsp

I'm just glad 3rd gens are getting some exposure again.

First of all, this is getting off a topic which wasn't even really detailing and appearance related to begin with

Second of all, I'm in Volvo's training program right now so I'm locking this.

No one likes a Volvo? You're mistaken. You must be thinking of the old ugly ones. Check out the S60-R
