In CT, we have four Saab dealers, and not one of them is anything to get excited about, most carry Saabs as an after thought. Keep in mind that Saab's best region in the entire United States is the Northeast, so what we see here is about the extent of it in the States. Even in New England, it is most definitely seen as a niche car, and I'll bet the majority of folks who buy them up here buy them because they relate Saab with Sweden and winter driving. Great in the past, not so wonderful now that AWD sedans and SUVs have taken hold of the market. Volvo learned the AWD and 4WD lesson - something Saab needs to pick up real soon now...
