The economic meltdown in late 2008 has a lot to do with it, maybe a major factor...sales of all cars are way down in 2009. Saabs are expensive cars but don't have the prestige image (snob appeal) BMW, Mercedes, Lexus, etc have, so less incentive for the "rich" to buy them, especially if leases are no longer availiable (perhaps that was a reaction by GM to their financial situation???). The 9-3 and 9-5 may not have had any major redesign in recent years but I don't see that as a significant factor in keeping people away.
