Saab emissions not up to snuff (sniff ?)

What ever happened to the lead that Saab had with high hp and excellent emissions ? Reading an article in the Globe & Mail (Canada) last week I see that the A4, A6, S4, S6, BMW, Acura etc. are all ULEV cars, while the Saab 9-3 SS with its super-dooper T8 Trionic can only manage LEV status. In Europe the extra emissions cost a bundle in extra taxes. Many of the turbo cars cited are ULEV, so there is nothing intinsically bad about turbos. Saab's mileage isn't any better than multi-valve 6's these days either, but at least its comparable. When did Saab decide that emissions weren't important any more ? Perhaps after GM bought in ?
Oh yeah. The absolutely worst vehicle for emissions ? Not the Yukon, the Suburban or one of those beasts. It is the Enzo Ferrari !
