I haven't driven the GSP in a while, so I don't remember the exits.
90 is a lot, since it's 180/day, which will put a lot of miles on your Saab fast.
For a company csr, they may just put you in a Taurus, Impala, Camry or something--one of the standard issue compnay cars these days. Not bad, just not much fun. Hopefully it will be that size, as the smaller cars these days are not all that nice. (Of course if they give you a company car, see if they will do one of the lease deals Saab has and get into a 9-3 SS!)
I used to do almost 60 miles each way from NH to Newton MA, and I found knowing local road alternatives was real useful when traffic was bad. Get a map and do some exploring. Also, you'll find departure times are key to a semi-decent commute. Sometimes just getting on the road 5 or 10 minutes ahead of the herd makes a big difference.
No matter what, it's a long ride. Find ways to use the time: return voice mails, books on tape, whatever works for you.
