Newsweek's 'Hottest' Gifts Include Saab 9-3 Convertible 


NORCROSS, Ga., Nov. 18  /PRNewswire/ -- "What if someone you know has been very,
very good?"  Newsweek magazine poses this question, and suggests a holiday gift
that is guaranteed to offer an undeniable affirmation: the 2004 Saab 9-3
Convertible.

Each year, Newsweek publishes its Tip Sheet holiday gift guide, featuring a
carefully chosen selection of "perfect" gifts for this holiday season.  Only one
car was highlighted as the "hottest" automotive statement for the holidays this
year: the all-new Saab 9-3 Convertible.

The 2004 Saab 9-3 Convertible brings a stylish, open-top dimension to the new
9-3 range.  It represents the most important advance Saab has made in 20 years
of designing four-seater, four-season soft tops and is poised to re-affirm the
company's leading position in the premium convertible segment.

Two models are offered: the Saab 9-3 Arc Convertible, starting at $39,995, and
the performance-oriented 9-3 Aero, priced at $42,500.  Both feature a 210-hp
2.0-liter turbocharged engine.  Newsweek put the spotlight on the 9-3 Aero,
showing a photo of a sporty model in stunning Lime Yellow metallic.  The Aero
includes a six-speed manual transmission, lowered sport suspension, 17-inch
wheels, 300-watt/13-speaker audio system, leather sport seats, and additional
exterior and interior sport trim.

The Newsweek gift guide is a compilation of the year's must-have gifts in
luxury, travel, gadgets, toys, food, and more.  Editors researched what's new
and significant as well as stylish and fun, and presented them in a special
13-page section in the Nov. 17 issue.  Newsweek prints 3.1 million copies each
week, with a readership of more than 20 million.

Saab Cars USA, based in Norcross, GA, is the importer and distributor of
Swedish-built Saab 9-3 and 9-5 automobiles.
