OK...so you're saying that Saab is destined only to sell cars to people who live where it snows a lot??? That's fairly self-limiting and I don't agree that that's what Saab is all about...especially since it sells a popular convertible model. I'd get used to the idea. I've heard rumors that a RWD car is not far off in the future for Saab, particularly if GM wants its "premium luxury brand" to compete against BMWs and Audis. While an AWD model would be ideal, I don't think that Saab has the kind of financial/time resources to develop one on its own (I don't seriously view the 9-2x as part of that equation). - tex
