No body bought it. It was due to be dropped at the end of the 2005 model year due to higher emission standards. The Linear and the Aero models with 4 cyl engines outsold the Arc. In 2004 Saab (in the US) dropped the V6 early by blending the the Linear and the Arc and dropped in a de-tuned Aero motor.
I have a 2002 Arc (well, my wife does) and really like the engine. Recently I drove an Aero for a few days and couldn't get over the noise level. I understand the 2006 model really is quieter and less vibration when sitting still.
