But there is the problem - with the current recipe, Saab is doomed. The profits aren't there and the market demand is weak. So you get fire sale pricing/promotions on new cars, low residual values at end of lease, and steep hits on resale values - not a good way to stay in the black as a car company, and this is why Saab has been struggling. The trick now is to keep loyal Saab fans like you and I in the fold while aggressively pursuing new customers. To do that, you can't just have the same tired old 9-5/9-3 line up for another 3-5 years.
