Fingerprints aside, a glossy dash seems to go against a lot of older Saab ideology/common sense: dash board surfaces should be relatively matte to not reflect glare... "metal" trim around gauges also serves no purpose to the driver and to a limited extent is distracting (never mind that it is the same aesthetic as every Mazda, Pontiac etc)...
the pragmatic ergonomics seems to be less important than flashy aesthetics since GM's influence has increased... smells of desperation to sell cars, and well, I guess fair enough, it's a business... I don't love it, but perhaps I'm in the minority? Maybe the 2009 look will be cool...
