Wait, I thought Saab went out of business. How can that company recall a car? If that's the case, where is the update for my Netscape browser?

It's really not huge. It's 15 versions of the same single model. One of them has an ignition cylinder by the arm rest. Other than that they're the same truck.

Until this thread I completely forgot about the Ranier. When it came out I remember one of the first customers was some 20 year old kid who made a boatload of money from some internet ventures. Buick went as far as making a press release about their fresher, younger buyers.

I kind of want one because of how insanely quiet and smooth reviewers said they were -- basically a Trailblazer with a metric ton of sound deadening and softer springs. It also had an optional 300hp V8.

The Ranier was by far the ugliest GMT360 product, though. Terrible front end.
