Targeting GM's Epsilon platform
I can see why you titled the July 22 article about the Saab 9-3 ``Target Practice.'' Looking at the picture of the center of the dash, I see about 45 buttons. It'll take some target practice to push the right one of those as you hustle down the road.
Stuart Kane, Marietta, Ga.
Your photos show the 2003 Saab 9-3 has sporty, yet elegant lines that can rival the designs of the BMW 3 Series and Audi A4. I was surprised to see you call it mainstream and dull. On the next page, in your article, ``Structurally Sound,'' you show a half oval slapped on top of a box (the Opel Vectra GTS) and call it ``a nice-looking car.'' Maybe I'm getting conservative in my old age (32), but the upcoming Saab 9-3 provides much more aesthetic justice to the Epsilon platform.

Judging Al Jr.
Regarding Dutch Mandel's July 29 column on Al Unser Jr.: Why kick a man when he's down? Your demand that he hangs up his helmet is ridiculous. What does anyone gain by that?
