Reports of the Death of the Linear (Part II)

My thanks to turbo5spd and eduard for providing solid information concerning the 04 SAAB lineup. Somehow it makes no sense to me to have a Linear available in only the wagon version, since the sedan is the big seller. Those of us who are sedan people will have to go to the Arc. 220hp is great, but how does SAAB explain to SE/Arc purchasers the deletion of the 6 cyl engine that they have been purchasing for 5 years. Finally, is the new Arc going to be offered at a reasonable price, or is SAAB going to put itself out of business with the elimination of its lowest priced sedan (the Linear). But I have always believed that SAAB's list prices were dumb. They did not help sales (constant incentives had to be used), and when magazine comparisons were made, they put the SAAB models into the wrong comparison groups.
