it's not just a rough idle

and it doesn't do it consistently.
My 2002 Aero has had two different software fixes so far, one at 30 days and one at 10,000 miles. I think that it improved after each fix, but the problem still appears.
I was noticing it yesterday, the engine fully warmed, had driven approx. 8 miles at highway speeds, ambient 20F. When stopped at a light, it had a frequency to it. I intend to get a stopwatch and measure the frequency, as I think it is consistent. And I'll have to try and gather more information about vehicle usage prior to when it occurs.
I agree that it probably costs SAAB sales. People don't expect $20,000 cars to do it, let alone $40,000 cars. Others have blamed it on (relatively) large bore/pistons. My 1998 Prelude (w/auto) 2.2 had smooth idle.
Can I live with it? Yes, but I hold my breath when I have passengers that it doesn't happen with them, or at least they don't notice it.
