IIRC, the 9000 was a collaborative effort with Lancia, (Thema?), Alfa Romeo 164 and Fiat (Chroma?). Not sure if there was a rear wheel drive variant in there that precluded a floor mounted ignition switch, but I'll bet the vote on where the switch went was probably three to one for the steering column.
By mounting the key on the floor, it lessened the chance of a knee injury in a crash.
