No. My OM is the best camera I ever used. My Saab was the worst car I 
ever owned. Bad handling, mediocre acceleration, mechanically 
unreliable, and gimcrack design features like the air conditioning 
compressor that hit the firewall if you accelerated too quickly. The 
Honda Civic I replaced it with was twice the car it was.  I think this 
comparison is a veiled insult to the OM and we should be angry. PS: I 
have no experience with the GM Opel which carries the Saab badge, only 
the real one.
