Not necessarily the dealer...

FWIW, my understanding is that the SAAB dealers do not get the "new" pricing in advance anymore. April 2nd was the last day of the old promotion period, and at midnight those promotions ended. I, for one, opted to close my transaction in advance of the new pricing, not knowing whether it would go up or down.
It is unfortunate that your dealer didn't make it clear to you that April 2d was the last day of the current promotion and that something "new" would come out the next day. My dealer told me point blank that the current promotion ended April 2d, something new was almost certainly coming out April 3rd, but it could be better or worse and he wouldn't know himself until April 3rd.
That said, how would you have felt if SAAB had discontinued or reduced some of the promotional leasing such that your payments went UP because you waited until April 3rd?
I say all of the foregoing not to defend SAAB's promotional policy but to suggest that perhaps, contrary to the popular opinion here, it was not your dealer's fault but is an inherent evil in the promotional system. From SAAB's point of view, I can see why they would not want to share new promotions in advance of their formal announcement.
