I'm an Ontario finance rep. and spend most of my working time in car dealerships. (My daily driver is a '99 9-3 SE)
The reason the salespeople push customers into Saturns in Canada is a matter of supply and demand. Saab sells only about a few thousand total units a year in Canada as opposed to about 75,000 Saturns. As a result, dealers stock fewer Saabs, they become less of a priority and the salespeople lose interest. They will always take the path of least resistance, so if there are a lot full of Saturns, that is what they are going to push.
Unfortunately, I'm not familiar with the Vancouver market, so good luck in your search!
