This would continue until Saab shut its doors last year, but could potentially be revived if ever the brand manages to be revived. The word "turbo" would also suddenly rise to prominence following the introduction of the 99 Turbo. It would be difficult to say that the 99 alone was responsible for this, but by the Eighties, the word was being used as a synonym for "fast" with some regularity. It would then, even more confusingly, come to mean virtually anything good, or upgraded in some way from the standard product. Anyone who has bought Gillette Mach 3 Turbo razors knows this phenomenon still exists, but it didn't used to until after the debut of the 99 Turbo.
