If you guys want to see a dearth of Saabs, nearly as if they don't exist at all, come visit Baton Rouge. There's been no dealer here for 12 years, the nearest being in New Orleans 70 miles away. Seeing a 9K is about as unusual as seeing a Ferrari, there is only one 9-5 I'm aware of, and one or two NG900's and 9-3's. C900's are more common, but even they are a becoming scarce, seeing maybe one a month.
Keeping in mind that I drive a '95 Aero, imagine my astonishment when one day about two years ago I saw a black Aero drive out of the Sam's Club lot as I was exiting the store! I was about to panic when I noticed that it had a trailer hitch, which mine doesn't. Now, what are the chances of seeing another black Aero in a city that is almost devoid of Saabs? Remember that only about 1000 were made each year of their five-year production, so here we have two of the same color, in the same parking lot, in a city where you'd think all Saabs had been exterminated. Too bizarre.
