I don't see why they could have auto closing windows but not allow "comfort closing." With the VW Passat (US), you can open and close the windows by putting the key in the door and holding it in either the unlock or lock positions. Comfort closing isn't much different. On this Saab page, it says that comfort closing is optional on the Linear, Arc, and Aero. That's the global site though; there's no mention of it on the US site. http://www.saab.com/main/GLOBAL/en/model_features_comparison_93s.xml?specgroupid=4 I just called Saab USA and the nice woman told me that comfort closing is not available in the US because of federal regulations. The woman said it couldn't be programmed, but I wonder if it's a matter of "can't" or "won't." Anyone know someone with a Tech II?
