If you read back through the archives, there were complaints that there were compaints about the original wood as "looking like a brown slab of plastic", "no visible grain" and such. There were also some quality issues with some of the wood finish fogging on some of the earlier 9-5's.
I think Saab over-compensated for '02. If they had only taken the finish up a notch rather than trying to mimic Formica, they would have been more successful.
