Maybe I just don't get it, but all the drivers in my family have a cell phone, we can GPS on the phones, and we have AAA Plus.
It's really hard to lock yourself out of a Saab (never done it in 25 years of Saabs), and I just don't see the value, unless you're in an accident and there's no one around. Even then, it's very limited.
I think OnStar is a total gimmick. We have it in our '03 9-5 (bought used) and never bothered to sign up or anything, so when the analog version died we never missed it. All flash, no substance, IMHO. The shark fin gets in the way when brushing snow off the roof and the useless button clutters up the dash.
Just my curmudgeonly $0.02 from snowy New Hampshire.
