Perfect Car for a Poet?

Saab Sonett
I've been a car-lover all of my life and a poet for only seven years or so, so I should forgive myself, I suppose, for missing the name on this automobile.

Saab Sonett.

It only struck me the other day that this must be the perfect car for the poet, especially one who writes
sonnets.

Then we discover the name comes from a Swedish phrase by Rolf Mellde: 'Så nätt den är' (English - 'how nice it is').

I hear they overheat anyway.
