Hello, I have a 900 5-door which I love but will need to replace this year. I went to the dealer to ask about the new model, but he told me that it came only in saloon and estate car variants (well he called the latter some silly name, but it looked like an estate to me). He said there probably would not be a hatchback model. I really don't want a saloon, nor an estate. I was wondering what other Saab hatchaback owners are buying? Is there a natural successor? I can't think of any. It seems odd to me that Saab have abandoned a nice little niche they had to themselves and gone headlong against the German manufacturers who already make saloons and estates (and mostly with better diesel engines, better gearboxes, and 4wd too!).
