Sales Increase..not really

I fail to see how a 17% sales increase is going to generate the kind of numbers we keep hearing for Saab with the powers that be wanting over 200,000 units per year.
The 9-3 SS sales are up phenomenally over the old 9-3, but Saab's sales overall are only 17%. This suggests that the 9-3 SS is caniballizing sales from the 9-5, which the news release is curiously silent about. What about stealing sales from Nissan or BMW or Audi, huh ? I've seen dozens on new G35s in London Ontario, but only 2 other 9-3 SS.
Looks like Saab can only sell to people who consider Saabs, but can't do much against the real competition.
Thoughts ?
