...they'd be able to sell more Saabs. IMO Saab now is dead in the water; a decent car (maybe even better than decent) but one that appeals to no one in particular.
If it helps, I think Volvo is in the same boat. Part of the problem with both marques is they stood pat for too long. The Saab 99 platform lasted 24 years, almost exactly the same as the Volvo 142...by the time they got around to updating it, the original reason for building cars that way had disappeared.
I don't know who is buying new Saabs now; it's not me, and I've owned 6, from a 99 to a ng900. i expect I'll buy a used 9-3 when they depreciate into my sweet spot ($5000!), probably by 2009...
