Depends on who you ask. With Saab production shut down, the last Saab is a NG9-3, NG9-5 or perhaps a 9-4X coming from the wonderful country of Mexico.
With GM buying 50% of Saab in late 1989/1990 then rolling out the NG900 which was a shared platform dont think you will find many who say the '98 NG900 was the last one. As Ryan said, the platform of the NG900 rolled into the OG9-3 just with a refreshing look.
Personally now owning a '64 96 2-stroke and '67 96 v4, these were a "true" Saab in my eyes. The key is on the dash, quite a bit underpowered for these days, but its what Saab was born on. I have a heck of a lot more fun driving the '64 stoker than my '88 900 SIS vert, '91 S-PG or '01 Aero Wagon. Mind you its a 3 speed that tops out around 58mph.
Everyone has their favorites and their own views of this question. Your bound to get different answers.
