Didn't know Saab's US sales are so poor..955 in Jan

I saw a table of sales figures in the newspaper. A few rare makes were not listed, like Aston Martin and Maserati. Maybach was listed as a separate figure under Mercedes. The bottom 4 sales figures that were listed were:
January 2009 sales
Maybach 3
Ferrari 146
Jaguar 781
Saab 955
Saab has only 1 model with strong sales (9-3), 1 with weak sales (9-5), and some no longer made 9-7X SUV's. Still, 955 compares poorly to Porsche's 1,658, Volvo's 2,910, and a whopping 14,314 BMW's.
I did not know that BMW outsells Saab 15:1. No wonder GM keeps considering to dump Saab. Too bad there aren't more Saabs and more Saab models. How about a:
9-1 : something like the Mini or sized like the Toyota Yaris
9-2 : like the Sonett used to be
9-3 : 9-3
9-5 : small SUV, like BMW X3
9-6 : 9-5 replacement
9-7 Sonett: expensive, slightly bigger sports car
9-8 : medium SUV
9-9 : large car, like BMW 7 series
