They're doing this for marketing and sales? Of course, I mean continuity is what makes a brand--look at the grill on any BMW or Mercedes, built in the last 50 years--what, you think they doon't have any new ideas for grills?. Look at the Porsche 911 and Jeep Wrangler, two of the most beloved, successfull models in auotmotive history. How about the VW Beetle? They're been selling that iconic shape since the '30's. Manufacturers are constantly paying homage to their past models to varying degrees and count it as extreme good fortune to have something from their past that resonates with the public like the Mini Cooper or New Beetle. If you took a bunch of car profiles and asked the average person to pick out the Saab I gaurentee they'd pick out the C900. If Saab can capitalize on the iconic stature of a car they designed and produced it why shouldn't they?
