just to comment on your posting in the 9-5 board - the c900 doesn't have TCS at all (or ESP or anything like that)... that said it has a different engine arrangement... weight distribution is not just a matter of front to back... vertical matters a lot as well + the resulting driver feedback is a big part of what makes a car good in snow... saabs tend to be predictable handling-wise and that is important... not swedish pixie dust, but the sum effect of a lot of small engineering considerations that are not all easily quantifiable...
my main concern with the newer saabs is clearance... the 9-3x looks really promising to me, as it has a little more clearance than the newer cars (especially Aero variants), but not so much that it should drive like a truck... looks pretty similar to the c900s really (but I haven't measured)...
