I damn well CAN ! I reckon if Saab still had hatchback versions of the 9-3 and made a hatchback 9-5 they would sell a shedload more cars. It strikes me a truly perverse that a company that once sold lots of executive hatchbacks (for a while it was all they offered) has dropped them entirely. It was one of the brand strengths IMHO which GM simply can't understand (like many other things GM can't understand). Graham
