I passed on a new 07 9-3 vert Aero 6 speed. There were only 2 left in CA, both with sand top (not my personal preference). I was going to get the black one with parchment and black interior. With $11,500 off the sticker including Saab loyalty it was a screaming deal, but I could not get over the tan top. I took a look at the BMW 328 convertible and even without the turbo (I will truly miss) the quality and value on that car are undeniable and they even gave me a great deal ($45,900 with fees), plus a retractable hardtop.
I won't say I will never return, but I did not realize the huge gap in quality and materials until I took a look and drove the BMW...never say never...
GM needs to really step up and focus on the strengths of their competition or severely drop their prices. MSRP's on Saabs are scaring people away. Unless the dealers are forthcoming about the discounts they are willing to give, they are just pushing longtime and potential customers into other showrooms.
