As far as NG 900 goes,I might be wrong, but I do not believe that this is official Saab nomenclature,but shorthand assigned by the marketplace to differentiate from the original. Other companies face the same problem,namely, how to introduce a successor model to a car and carry over the name,yet still let the public know that the product is different. As afar as I know, we are now on the third generation of BMW 530i, and get this, the fifth Camry. By the way,Gary, to reinforce your point about how car names can backfire on companies,I throw out this question. What the Heck is a Camry anyway. I think that Japanese cars have some of the strangest names out there, at least in the US market.Saab's transgressions in this area seem minor by comparison.
