Strickter emission standards were on the books for model year 2005 and the engine sales were not high enough to invest in meeting those standards. In the US, Saab made the move to bring in a 220hp 4 cyl engine because the V6 sales were slipping.
So in case you didn't pick up on it above, slows sales were the other reason. My wife's car is a V6 Arc and it runs great.
