The actual reason was probably Saab not wanting to come up with the development money for a car that was gonna' be replaced in a couple of years.
But some of the reasons are also the superior performance, lighter weight and better economy of the 2.3T vs the new V6.
At $3+ a gallon, a four cylinder 9-5, the only four in the class, might become an inspired decision.
