Just to clarify: The 9000 CD was produced 1988-1995, production stopped 3 years earlier than for the 9000 CS. That suggests that the hatchback was the definitive Saab 9000. GM might was noticed that BMWs sold in huge numbers, that is also evident just from watching the traffic (South UK). So they wanted to re-focus for a slice of that market. The BMWs were positioned slightly higher up than Saabs at the time; more cylinders, RWD etc.
