I'd just like to get the situation clarified a bit more first. I personally can't see how GM would not have been at least partly responsible for the design changes in the 9000's after they took over Saab, but I haven't been a Saab owner since the early 1990's so I'm not exactly in a position to comment from first-hand experience. I'll check some other sites and make sure what the facts are then figure out what to change on the site(s) of mine that mention C9000's (in the context that I've described the pre-1993 9000's).
