I currently have a '91 9kt. It has some shortcomings, but I plan to keep it until the right Saab comes along or the car gets too old and I'm tired of waiting.
Wouldn't buy it without:
1. hatchback
2. better than 30 mpg highway (see "would be nice" #1)
3. The same real world safety Saab has been known for. And I don't mean safety "features", GM (like they're reading this, right), but safety engineering from the beginning.
Highly Desirable:
1. 6 spd tranny
2. AWD
Would be nice:
1. variable compression engine (so when will they start producing that?)
2. Interior refinements, especially Aero type front seats
3. Exterior styling less mainstream. I agree the Italians could help here.
While I'm blabbing, I should mention that I think it's possible to build a hatchback that looks more like a sedan. The late model 9000 hatchback came close to that. The late model 9000 sedan, however, looked disproportionate, with its long trunk.
