No manufacturer can afford to gamble wrong on colors, and if you are very small like Saab, the gamble is that much tougher. Lead time is about 3 years in the industry between choosing colors and production. Must have been a long tough winter in Trollhatten the night they polished off all that liquor and choose the Graphite Green and Glacier Blue off of the color palates. Why else could those two turkey bird colors made it to production.About a year ago, my dealer had about 25 9-5's on his lot in Graphite. Looks pretty nice in the catalog, but almost black in person.
