Yup. You have it right. People who want "status" wouldn't buy a hatchback car, for some reason, and, at $30-40K for a typical Saab, it is now a luxury car, not a utilitarian car.
But people will spend $48K for a Lincoln Aviator (voted by Forbes as the most overpriced vehicle in America), all to get "sport utility".
Famous quote "no one ever went broke overestimating the stupidity of the American people".
OTOH, I seriously doubt that the Mazda 6 will have the great Swedish design that the 9000 had. I could fit couches in the back of my 9000CS, and in fact, brought home an entire IKEA kitchen with it once!
