We have met the enemy...

and to some degree it's us. There's been some lament lately that the new 9-5's aren't selling better, but the real question is why aren't WE buying them? If we aren't buying them who's going to? I guess the question I'm leading up to is what would it take in the way of a Saab to get us into the show room? I know a lot of us buy used and I'm no exception. So what would it take to get us to buy new? I certainly like the new 9-5 a lot and price wise it's comparible to the previous 9-5 and 9000. I guess for me it just comes down to being unwilling (even though I could) to spend that kind of money on anything that depreciates as fast as a car does. I have no quibbles with the car itself. I guess something in the 9-3 or 9-1/2 range would be more in my comfort range, but even then I'm not going to take the depreciation hit on any new car unless I'm getting something I can't get used. So what's it going to take to get large numbers of us into showrooms to buy NEW Saabs?
