I don't believe the hatchback market is that dead. Mercedes is getting into the act with their entry level hatch, there is a slew of hatch like vehicles coming to market or already in place e.g. Mazda MP5, Toyota Matrix, Focus ZX3, Beetle, Golf, etc. Who knows, maybe BMW will start bringing the Compact (318Ti) back as well.
I think Saab is picking the wrong time to abandon that market unless they have something very clever designwise that will offer the looks and utility (not the 9-3x). Maybe a sport wagon of sorts but in a non traditional execution.
