I will concur with much of the original poster's comments. When I was looking at a new Saab this year, the new 9-5 dash (and the rest of the interior) was disappointing. I had hoped for a more 9-3ss dash on the new 9-5s -- but instead, I saw what struck me as GM generic parts.
On the plus side, the new GM sound system is a GREAT improvement over the prior offerings. And, I will agree from an "interface design" perspective that dials are better than buttons.
So, I'm quite happy that my new 06 Aero is the last version assembled in Trollhatten, and without the GM avionics (so to speak).
My solution, if I ran Saab?
(1) improve the audio to the new level of quality, WHILE KEEPING A UNIQUE, NON-GM APPEARANCE
(2) convert the array of buttons to dial controls, without pulling the parts out of the GM parts bin
(3) try not to get fired by GM for implementing steps (1) and (2) above :)
