2006 Saab 9-3 Convertible 20 Years Edition

Twenty years ago, Saab debuted the 900 Convertible, and the Swedish automaker has sold 240,000 ragtops since. To celebrate, the 2006 Saab 9-3 Convertible 20 Years Edition arrives to commemorate this milestone. Painted a special hue called Electric Blue with matching body trim and tonneau cover, the 20 Years Edition is based on the Saab 9-3 Aero Convertible, which means it gets Saab’s new 2.8-liter turbocharged V6 engine, which sends 250 horsepower to the front wheels. Limited to a production run of just 300 vehicles, the 2006 Saab 9-3 Convertible 20 Years Edition also includes the Aero model’s lowered and sport-tuned suspension, but comes with unique double five-spoke alloy wheels and a lip spoiler on the trunk. The interior is Parchment leather with electric blue accenting. If this special-edition Saab is just what you’ve been waiting for, rush off to your local dealer this February to plunk down $44,615 on one. And don’t forget, when you buy a Saab Aero, you get a free two-day driving course at Road Atlanta. What a great road trip to make while breaking in your new Swedish sun-tanner on wheels.
