for a few reasons...
The SPG is older, rarer, and the epitome of SAAB without the GM associations. Many SPGs got driven like stink until they rusted to pieces + are no more. The stock c900 also corners better than the stock 9-3, though I haven't compared an SPG to a properly upgraded Viggen. Don't get me wrong, the Viggen is a fantastic car + fantastic SAAB, but the SPG is *the* SAAB icon... (eg "bender" over on the 9-3 bb is a Viggen owner + fan, but his gravatar is an SPG)...
I do agree that many of the asking prices for SPGs (and especially "mint" verts) are (as you say) a little frothy, mainly because many of the cars are not as perfect as the owners might think. Rust is killer. Other than that, almost anything is fixable + worth fixing...
