CR data tends to be pretty reasonable. If you follow their repair and quality rankings for used cars, you'll see that Saab 900 got very poor ratings in the mid-1990s, when the cars had all kinds of elctrical problems. Quality was great from 1998 through 2002, which most people on this board would agree with (I have a 2001 9-3 SE which has been excellent). I think Saab took a step backward re quality with the 9-3 SS. It seems to take them a number fo years with a model to get the bugs out. The Japanese seem to be able to launch new model after new model with very few problems, but that takes a level of commitment to quality that American and European firms can't seem to sustain.
