No sense in losing any sleep over someone else's opinions. Is the 9000 an antiquated automobile? Probably, it's a 20+ year old design, with a 30+ year old engine design and while it may have been ahead of it's time in 86, time change. It is and always will be a much nicer vehicle than most cars of comparable age, but solid beam rear axle, no side air bags, TCS much less reliable than on newer vehicles, etc....
I love my 87 900 CVT (180 HP), I loved my various 9K's (97 CSE (200 hp)that my son drives has to be the best of the breed, even over my 94 Aero ), and I love my 04 9-5 SW (230 hp). Even Saab has increase HP from this engine over the years.
Instead of being upset, take it as a complement. When you start out 5 years ahead of your time, it's alot easier to age gracefully.
