At SOC03 one of the presenters (upcoming Saab products) said that they had to lose the wipers because the outer lenses are now polycarbonate & wipers will scratch them. That explains why the 9³SS never had wipers, but nobody asked about popups vs. those new things.
About the hot lenses, my experience is just the opposite. Our '89 900 would always cake up with snow (no wipers in USA that year) because for the same wattage the outer lens is so big. Our Integra has small projector headlights that get much warmer than the Saab's. Same wattage, but only 20% of the surface area...
