go to Home Depot and buy a small roll of thin weather stripping with adhesive back, just put it around the edge of the new air-filter, you now have a filter as good as the Saab filter. I have done this and it worked well.
If you look carefully at the Valeo replacement, it has a flexible lip around the frame that gives a reasonable seal in the housing. No, it isn't as good a seal as the original with the foam seal but should work reasonably well.
