I had a GM era SAAB (9-3) and I loved it. I was looking for something fun, relatively inexpensive and different. It satisfied all of those.
I can see how GM's changes were a turn off for traditional SAAB buyers but I can also understand that GM was trying to make it profitable and that means some things had to change. It's too bad they couldn't make it work.
Side note: many of the SAAB engineers ended up at Volvo and I love how Volvo now puts the ignition between the seats. Now they need "night panel" mode. :)
