The main culprit you may be referring to is potentially due to poor maintenance. These engines have been perfected for many years. SAAB is also among the worlds leaders in turbo technology. I'd be slow to blame Saab and would look closer at how these cars has have been treated. One major problem has been oil sludge due to infrequent oil changes.
SAAB has encompassed the best of both worlds... power/performance, economy and safety... perhaps better than any other manufacturer. THese are not maintenance-free cars but with the proper knowledge on how they should be taken care of, they will out live and out perform most vehicles on the road.
