He can say that because it is essentially true. The 9000 was a joint project between a number of car makers, and was not designed by Saab. It appeared with minor trim changes in a number of marques, but fell out of favour with most fairly quickly, only Saab continuing with it until they brought out the 9-5. I have had numerous (about 14 from memory) Saabs since 1973 covering all models except the 9000, which I refused to buy after looking it over, on the grounds that it wasn't really a Saab. --=20 Regards, Peter Wilkins
