Local dealer has 08 9-5's,no 09 models. They also told me that there will be no 9-5 replacement and Saab is being sold off or eliminated to focus on Buick/Opel/Caddy/GM/Chevy/Pontiac will be a bit player. Hummer and Saturn are gone as well. (recent Motor Trend article confirms this). Ford is trying to get rid of Volvo as well, but at least have made a half assed effort.
My local dealer is discontinuing the Saab distributorship, parts and service. They will continue to sell Cadillacs and are not closing, but that means for our CPO 9-5 Aero we will have to go 150 miles away for warranty work...maybe farther if (gag) Jim Ellis (Atlanta) shuts it down as well. Saab of Charleston already gone.
