I am not sure the Honda Accord and Altima buyer are looking at the Qtr miles stats... Cars are about style AND performance. 95% of Honda buyers are looking for a decent priced reliable ride. Willing to bet the same for Altima buyers. The Acura TL buyer is just a Honda buyer that wants a little more style and maybe some better handling etc. The Dodge, WRX, Lancer, Focus driver is someone looking for the best performance for the buck with some edgy styling. In all cases styling is very important.
Unlike any car on that list Saabs have personality and appeal to a different demographic. Not to sound too vein, but I wouldn't be caught dead in a Dodge SRT-4. From a performance standpoint I admire the Subaru WRX, but its not my style -- the Saab version would be... Cars are more about style and performance, not just performance. I bought a Viggen over a M3 or S4 because I find it more fun to drive. Its not that I can't afford the other cars - I know they are faster - but I enjoy the Viggen and like the look of the car. I don't think Saab is going to loose out as long as they keep up the good work on the styling.
All that said I am anxious to see the next Viggen like Saab entrant. Until then I will keep the Viggen.
