Isn't this simply more of a full market shift? Even many exotic sports cars are moving away from traditional manual transmission cars.
I don't think Saab manufacturing more or dealers stocking more manual shift cars would have helped. The overall demand just isn't there as much as it used to be. If Saab wants (wanted) to attract new buyers, they have (had) to go more with the "crowd" or be satisfied with lackluster sales numbers.
Manual transmission buyers/fans, while vocal, are becoming a much smaller piece of the pie.
