Its probably out of the question for this fellow looking for a cheap used Saab, but the new 9-5's have incredible automatics. I got a loaner from the dealer when my car went in for some work a couple months ago (nice to trade a 1990 SPG for a 2001 9-5 for a day). I was a little disappointed they couldn't hand over a standard, but my disappointment melted away when I got it out on the freeway. Wow.
The old 900's were 3-speed auto's. Later on they put another gear in there to bring it up to your "standard" 4 speed auto. I dunno if they've changed anything on the newer ones, but the 9-5 I drove certainly seemed like a 5-speed.
I'm actually looking forward to bringing my car back in...
