Autoboxes proved 'problematic' v early on.. Many.. were patched under warranty. They still die with depressing regularity, even my local Indie "Parts" a couple every month.
Sales, not surprisingly, reputedly suffered as result, eventually the majority of 9000's sold were manuals, for obvious reason.
Perhaps what yer seeimg are the attempts to 'lose' a potential problem.
Most Saab owners usually hang onto their Cars long past their 'best by' dates cuz the darned things engender a certain affection, against all odds.
I'm thinking the Autobox cars do this to a far lesser extent.
