Up until the 99 series, SAABs had the shifter on the steering column. They decided to use a transmission lock instead of the typical steering lock because they thought a steering lock posed a safety risk. Think about it... if the car starts to roll and the key isn't in the ignition, would you rather be able to steer or shift gears?
When the 99 series was introduced, the shifter was placed on the floor, and the ignition followed it. Apparently, SAAB had a change of heart about the steering lock- I'm pretty sure the 9000 series doesn't lock the tranny.
