    On the Saab, the handbrake connects to the FRONT brakes. This makes the most sense if you actually needed it to stop in an emergency where the hydraulic system had failed.

    Boy, that could be an exciting discovery,depending on when it's made. I will remember that little tidbit. Though, I drive just enough Saabs to know where the key goes...and to realize torque steer IS a manly trait! Squirming like a bag of snakes thru each gear, and still twitching at 100mph! Whew!
