First of all, most 9-5s have NO clutch. Second of all, The aveage US driver is amongst the lamest in the world (sorry, my experience) - unused to and unable to cope with the least bit of unusual circumstance. Third - the reported 'safety' of Saabs puts a lot of third-rate drivers in them that panic at the first sign of trouble anyway, like those SUV soccer moms swerving to avoid a pothole while talking on their cells and flipping the car upside down onto their kids.
So yeah, I think losing power assist to steering and brakes and engine power at 70 on a packed interstate could be a problem for some folks.
Frankly, I could care less if these reliability issues drove every last customer on the planet away from Saab, I'm just a little selfish in that I want to be sure I can buy parts for mine 5 years down the road.
