It is pretty crappy that GM didn't develop an update option for Saabs with analog OnStar. As an OnStar fan, I knew this was happening, and infulenced my decision to get a new (digitally OnStar'd) 9-5.
What is particularly nerve wracking (especially with GM's positioning of Saab as a luxury/safe option) is that even the NEW OnStar still can't do remote unlock, remote diagnostics nor turn-by-turn directions.. IN A SAAB. In a $13,000 Chevy Cobalt, yes, in a $43,000 brand new Saab, no.
But, I knew it going into the purchase.. and for my money, OnStar is brilliant. It still sucks for the older Saab OnStar fans who will be alienated by this lazy engineering from GM.
