That makes the price difference between > a 900 and a 9-5 ridiculously small. You'd be a fool to get a 900 over a > 9-5. Some people don't like the 9000/9-5, regardless of its creature comforts. As 'tsteele' wrote, the 9-5 is somewhat "mainstream". IMO, the 900 (and presumably 9-3) is the defining (current) Saab. I'm sure plenty of people will disagree with me, but I think the 9000/9-5 tries too hard to be just like all the other boxes on the road. Plenty of people aren't even remotely interested in such a car, even if it does have a Saab badge on it. > Have they lowered the price of the 900 (oops, I mean 9-3)? Don't know. You'd expect they would, but it will take some time to clear stock around the world. Just when is the 900 going to end production anyway? -- David Wareing dwareingnopsamaide.on.net Macintosh Game Development <www.ambrosiasw.com/~dwareing> Get Mars Rising: <www.marsrising.com>
