I guess some of you are missing my point. Saab, IMHO, has lost it's edge. I have driven a 2008 Aero as a loaner and was NOT impressed. CHEAP materials, fit and finish was horrible. Never felt solid.
Anyway, I know that I won't be spending $2000 a year in maint. when it's out of warranty with an Acura.
I guess that is my real issue. I am just tired of things breaking and attributing it to "part of owning a Saab". It just shouldn't be. KNOWN problems from the SID, hood badge, the ABS controller, the TB, etc. were never addressed. And the newer versions just look cheap to me.
Maybe I'll hold out to see what the 2010 9-5 brings IF it ever reaches production which is not guaranteed at this point.
