The new Saab: Opportunity thought shared

I share my thought process on this freely for you to value as you deem appropriate.
Here is how I manage myself when I look at the glass half full of water:
Everyone has transformational opportunities in their lifetime but few ever see them when they can act on that opportunity. Most fail to see the opportunity as an opportunity and some just see it in the rear view miorror when they no longer have the opportunity to act. Most never know the opportunity existed. Which of these do I want to be?
If you take the time to reflect on your own life you can see where you had various opportunities, some transformational and others just good opportunities, that you missed. Is this an opportunity? Will you look back in a year or two and kick yourself for not acting?
I see this as an opportunity as the new SAAB has limited downside risk;
1) It will not stop running if SAAB can not right itself.
2) I bought it for 10 years and 200,000 miles so realistically I don't expect trade in value when I am ready for another car.
3) I can buy coverage from a third party to extend the warantee if I so desire.
4) The new 9-5 Aero is heads and tails better than my previous Saabs.
5) The run rate is manageable: Regular gas, small insurance bump over my current 2003 9-5 Aero Wagon, good miles per gallon, etc.
