I totally respect people’s opinions on music - you can like whatever you want, it’s all subjective. There is no right or wrong. But, for me, this song really grates on me. It feels very superficial and I don’t find anything in it musically intriguing.
Sort of…in fact it used a Lancia chassis form as a basis because it was a huge saving. This was modified by Lotus and produced in Sweden using different sheet thickness and tucking, welding and finishing processes. The result was the absolutely perfect balance.
Other than that very intentional ’short cut’, the ‘design’ of the car is very much Saab, especially the detailed engineering throughout.
Tori has said the poppy sound of this song and the easy going chorus are supposed to trick people, since the verses are really full of some great stuff…
I mean, I know it’s definitely not her best, and the saab bit creeps me out slightly, but the “so when I was out in the desert” bit has always resonated with me for some reason
i was a big fan of saabs when they were owned and designed by Saab, they were so individual.
This is an ugly bug! looks like the Facelift was done by somone from Halfords!!

If you think this is ugly take a look at the Mitsubishi I-car

The 9000 was not designed by Saab. It was helped by a few other manufactures I think one of them was Lancia.

I would purchase any Tori-approved product in a heartbeat. From dental floss to pesticide-drenched veggies. I mean that.
