Relax... The "smell" WILL go away after about 10K miles.
A LOT of cars have this problem... And it has everything to do with the amount of sulphur in the gas. There are new government regulations about to take effect that will lower the amount of sulphur in gas (and jack up the price a bit).
There is also NOTHING that the dealer can do to "fix" this issue... IF they were to replace the catalytic converter (which Saab doesn't condone for this problem) you will be back to square one and have to drive the new one for 10K stinky miles.
What WILL sometimes help is to DRIVE THE PISS out of the car once in a while... Get it out on the highway and let er rip! Otherwise if you do mostly in-town short trips it's gonna stink for a few thousand miles. Enjoy!
