Can't argue (but I will) with the die hard stick guys, but for an automatic the NG900/9-3 trannies are darn good with a sport setting that keeps the stick folks pretty happy with it's higher shift points and quicker kickdowns. The high torque at low RPMs of the turbo is well suited to an automatic. And they have proven to be pretty bulletproof.
For me the Saab sticks have so-so linkages and shift characteristics, not a snick-snick gearbox like a BMW, but for some even a so-so stick is better than even a good auto.
