Here's another idea - I think the old 99 hatchback was called a Combi Coupé in some markets, maybe Saab went on to think of Combi Sedan, or Saloon?
Some people think they called the 4-door CD because of the "corps diplomatique" associations. On the other hand, the CD actually came before the CS, so perhaps it was just that "S" hints at Special or Sports in that car-speak language which is more sizzle than steak.
Saab aren't known for using E = injection, you see 9000i on the non-turbo cars. Also all the cars have fuel injection. In car-speak "E" might be "Executive" perhaps? or "Equipment", remembering that the early shape 9000s came in both S and SE variants.
Somehow, A for Administrator has never caught the public's imagination but I have high hopes for CEO. As for model names, "Terrorist" would be bad taste but I reckon "Terminator" presses the right buttons. Terminator CEO V-12, maybe?
