Hey, a little flame baiting is good for any board, helps burn the carbon out <chuckle>.
I do not think Audi v. Saab is a fair comparison. Let's keep some perspective.
When I woke up this morning, is was 2005 and not 1995 (year I started shopping for my NG900). Soccer moms drive Subaru LLBean editions and Hondas with 250hp right off the lot. Audi is the jewel in the VW crown, and Volkswagen has invested some big bucks to keep it that way. The S4 is 4.2L/V8/340hp/302lb and $47k.
In 2003 (last year I could find records for) Audi sales sales were almost 770,000 cars, including 86,000 in the US, and 64,000 in China (the most important expansion market for luxury goods). Saab sold only 131,000 cars worldwide in the same year.
It would be surprising if the A4/S4 aftermarket were not bigger and richer, bringing in more competition and lower prices. Of course suppliers favor it over Saab!
