Alert me when someone posts in this thread:
I would agree that the 9-2x should have included more luxury features, especially, when GM/SAAB tried to market this car as such. But I would have to disagree that GM/SAAB should kill the car off, because it wasn't a run away hit. Whatever happened to learning from your mistakes, correct them and move on. Of course, if you push out something as ugly as the Aztec, then by all means drive all remaining models off a cliff;)

A new interior is pretty easy to do, add the awesome Recaro seats that used to be in some SAABs, GPS, and maybe even a bluetooth system; and I think you would have a clear winner. Instead, we have a car that many bought, with the intention of purchasing all the above goodies and more, from aftermarket suppliers. As far as I am concerned, the aftermarket suppliers are enjoying the profits that GM gave up.
