Saabs are the poor, practical guy's Porsche, no question about it. I think both have that appeal of approaching automotive perfection by unconventional, yet historically proven means. They are neither the flavor of the month, nor the same-old-same-old.
In addition, both types of cars are "finicky" in the same way, and both reward skill and attention to detail, to the peril of those who buy powerful cars as mere status symbols.
Also, both marques achieve beauty by the same ethic: purposeful economy of line and compact proportions rather than flourish and excess. I'm sure the more superstitious amongst us will have a numerological explanation about the model designation as well; everyone knows the 911 was so-named because Saab already had the 99 designation Porsche originally wanted.
