Yes, it smells like crayons, and no, it is definitely not the leather seats. I test drove a 99 9-5 with cloth seats in which the crayon smell was really strong and thought it might be the seat material. My car, which has leather seats, had an air freshener when I first bought it, so I couldn't smell the crayon scent then, but when I removed the air freshener to attempt to restore the delicious smell of leather seats, all I got was the crayon smell. I think the source of the smell is the rubber (?) backing on the carpets, which Saab won't replace. New carpets cost $800, and I resist getting used carpets because they might have come out of a 99 9-5. The newer models don't seem to have the crayon smell.
