I'm with my pal Four Weis (IT master and servant of the Illuminati) on this one. If you want an automatic transmission, buy a Lexus or something. A Saab just wouldn't feel like a Saab without a 5-speed manual. And if you go to any Saab morgue, the attendant will likely tell you that automatic transmission failure has been the Classic 900's most frequent cause of death.
