True, very rare, but there are cloth seats in all model years in the US (at least until 02). A few regulars here have 99-01s with cloth, there's an 02 linear on ebay with it, too.
The US brochure says 'Luxury Velour' in the base trim, but Saab assumed leather, so it was a special order to delete the leather option. You didn't usually get a price break, either. I think the same went for the sunroof -- not standard on the base but extra paperwork to have a US dealer 'not' order it. I assume the same applied to SE (Arc) and Aero...
So you can find stripped (stick, no sunroof, 15", cloth, MCC?) 9-5s once in a very great while. When I was looking I saw 3 or 4 like this in the 99-00 range.
