A rear spoiler, wing, or airfoil is typically used on a rear wheel drive car. At high speeds, the air impacting the airfoil forces the drive wheels against the pavement for improved grip. The downside is that these airfoils increase drag and may create turbulence and instability. The tiny wings I've seen on front wheel drive Saabs (or Acuras, Hondas) are too small to do anything and are most likely just decorative. Might as well just keep your windows closed while flying down the freeway for low drag and better stability.
