Just met a SAAB rep from Gothenburg...

Was at the dealership this afternoon test-driving a 2001 9-5 S automatic. SAAB marketing rep from Gothenburg was there, very nice guy. Tried to pump him for details: He said the new 9-3 is coming out in 2002, they will introduce a sedan first and variants (including, I think, a hatch) later. He said he had seen the new 9-3 and it does not look like some of the pictures that have been floating around. He also said fears of SAABs becoming GM-mobiles are groundless, they are hiring in Sweden and will continue development (especially turbo R&D) in Sweden. Told him I hung out on this site; he was well-aware of SAABnet and Mr. Patterson.
Sorry if this is all old news to those of you following the board. Would have pumped him for more details but he said if he told me anything he'd have to kill me (ha ha ha). I think he was joking but I didn't push it just in case something got lost in the translation ...
Incidentally the 9-5 base is hot, even with auto! Took it out for an hour and loved it. Did not notice any turbo lag.
