These are more upgrades/fixes than an options I guess:
--better seats even in base models (especially less slippery leather?); but I do like the great adjustablity
--an easy way to turn the headlights 'off' while retaining the usual 'always on' feature (e.g., could the 'off' be activated only if the rotary control was pushed in for example); alternatively could the 'always on headlights' use a seperate bulb so one wouldn't risk losing the important 'real' headlight bulbs to overuse
-- a bigger and easier to manipulate outside mirror control (see any Honda for a good example)
-- bigger outside mirrors would be good too; especially given the huge blindspot on the right-rear due to the stout 'B' pillars (could these mirrors also be made so that they transmitted less glare?)
--illuminated controls including: the stereo buttons on the steering wheel, the sunroof and reading light controls; the outside mirror controls
--I like the remote-in-key OK but it is easy to accidentally open the trunk when removing the key from the ignition. On my previous car, an Acura, the trunk only opened with a 2-3 sec press of the remote as a safety feature, this would be easy to do given SAAB's love of programming;
--the all-in-one key could/should be smaller, see VW's folding one or BMW's smaller [?] one
